We like to provide thought provoking writing competitions that capture a sense of realism and bring characters to life, so for this writing competition we thought that we would get you to create a passage of writing that reflects a characters emotions.
You do not have to use the given photo for inspiration and you can use any previously written emotional passage if you feel that it is relevant to this competition. Please note that your submission must be original and previously unpublished.
Maximum word count for this is 500 words which should be plenty to allow you to depict an emotional scene.
Feel free to be creative with this writing competition as there is no limit to the number of characters that you can include but you do have a limited word count so be careful.
The emotions conveyed can be any of the following:
Anger
Passion
Sadness
Heartbreak
Laughter
Joy
To recap: Your submission can be an excerpt depicting an emotional scene, it can be the beginning, middle or end of an existing story or you can write an emotional scene purely for this writing competition.
Just remember to submit your entry within the body of the email to [email protected] and write Emotions Writing Competition in the subject line.

Please note that it can take some time for our writing competitions to be judged and the winners announced. The length of time is dependant on the number of submissions received. We take the judging process very seriously and ensure that the best submission wins. This means that each submission is read and re-read to build up a high quality short list and then the process begins again.

I’m a bit concerned about entering a competition – and not a free or charity one – where the entry details contain simple errors of grammar and punctuation. Of course many people don’t mind thiat, and it can be a boon to dyslexic writers who struggle to find competitions that will accept misspelt entries, but if you want to look professional then it might be an idea to get a proofreader.
Hi Cathy,
I’m really glad you made us aware of the mistakes, it was due to a lack of time sadly and we do usually work hard to ensure that there are few mistakes indeed.It’s easy to make a few errors from time to time though as I’m sure you will agree.
Best wishes,
Annette
