At leafie, we want to support the next generation of content creators. To celebrate national writing day, we’re launching our first Young Adult Writers competition.
We’re looking for 18-25 year olds who want to launch their writing career by having their work published on leafie.co.uk. Entrants are invited to submit an article or essay suitable for our website, whether it be about CBD, cannabis or psychedelics.
All work must be original, written in British English and be at least 750 words long.
As well as being published on our website prizes will be issued for the top 3 submissions, with the top prize receiving £100 and the two runners up winning a leafie goody bag. All winning entries will be published on leafie.co.uk along with a full byline for the author.
To enter, please read the full rules below, familiarise yourself with our content and contributor’s guidelines then send your submission as a Word Doc or Google Doc to yaw@leafie.co.uk before the end of 11th July 2021.
