New Media Writing Prize open for entries

The 2024/5 New Media Writing Prize is now open for entries, with cash prizes for the best in interactive digital narrative, literature, and journalism. 

The NMWP is seeking original works of “born-digital” storytelling (fiction or non-fiction): works created on digital devices, for digital devices. These include hypertexts, participatory films, i-documentaries, Twine stories, transmedia novels, and more.

The competition is free to enter. The main prize of £1000 is sponsored by if:book, with £500 prizes for best journalism (sponsor: FIPP media) and a “people’s choice” category (sponsor: Wonderbox Digital). Winner of the student prize will win a year’s membership from sponsor Writers Online.

In 2023-24 we also introduced a NEW prize category, sponsored by the associated NMWP Unconference: the Interactive Digital Narrative for Social Good award, celebrating creative works that endeavour to improve the world around us, our communities, our wellbeing, and our future generations. The winner of this prize will also receive £500.
