The Yeovil Literary Prize written in green

There are less than four weeks left to enter this year’s Yeovil Literary Prize, which closes at midnight on Friday 31st May 2025.

Now in its 22nd year, the Yeovil Literary Prize offers opportunities in five categories; Novel, Short Story, Poetry, Children’s and Young Adult Novel, and Writing without Restriction.

The 2025 prize fund totals over £4500 across the five categories. As well as receiving a cash prize, winners are invited to take part in our annual showcase at the Yeovil Literary Festival, giving them a chance to boost their profile and get to meet their readers in person.

Funds raised through the YPL are used to support talented young people pursuing a career in the creative or performing arts.

Please note that this year only online / electronic entries will be accepted.
