History

'The Competition is one of the most prized Literary Awards and is designed to foster original creative writing of outstanding quality, including experimental, challenging or thought provoking work.' (Source : Award website)

Notes

  • Not awarded in 2019.
  • In some parts of its website, ESU says that the award was launched in 2012, but other sources (including the ESU in press releases) puts the inaugural date at 2015 instead. No winners prior to 2015 have been traced.
