Call for Submission to ePOTB

Publication Opportunity for Young Writers and Artists

Submissions of writing and artwork are invited for our first online edition of ePOTB. Pushing Out the Boat, North-East Scotland’s Magazine of New Writing and the Visual Arts, is looking to discover the best new work from young writers and artists aged 12 to 17. ePOTB will be published as an ezine on the Pushing Out the Boat website in Spring 2018 and a £50 prize will be awarded to the best contribution in each of the three categories: prose, poetry and art.
 
Submissions should be made through the online forms, available on this website. The deadline is  30th November 2017. Good Luck!
 
Submissions to ePOTB will open on 23rd September 2017.
