The Prize

The whole idea is to push your limits as a writer and have a load of fun. If you do manage to write a novel over a weekend, what can be a better reward for your effort? You finally have another complete work of fiction ready for print or film.

Frog Books, one of the fastest growing idependent publishers in India, will also be scanning the novels written here, with an intent to publish.

Besides, our event partners are watching you.
Plastic Sugar Press, Industrial Theatre Co., and more in the coming days, will consider your work for publication or production ( as the case may be).

Apart from this,
Crimson Feet Magazine will be looking at some of the work produced with the view of publication.

Cash Prizes

It is recommended that you pool in money within centres and give away the prize to the work - novel or screenplay, that is thought best after peer review.

We encourage this sort of internal gambling around here.

We will shortly post a convenient peer-review form for you to use.
