Sponsored Entries

Sponsored (£0) entries are available via application to writers who might not otherwise be able to take part in the QuietManDave Prize.

If you would like to apply for one of these, please contact the Manchester Writing School in writing by email: writingschool@mmu.ac.uk to register your interest and for further details.

Sponsored entry is available to those in the following categories: low income/HMRC self-assessment; unwaged/Jobseeker’s Allowance; in receipt of disability benefit, working tax credit or income support; retired; full-time student. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application for sponsored entry by email within 28 days of submission of any requested information. The deadline for expressions of interest in sponsored entry is 31st May 2022. Applications for sponsored entry will no longer be considered after that date, or when all sponsored entries have been allocated. Applications for sponsored entry will be considered by the competition administrative team whose decisions are final, and no correspondence about their decisions will be entered into. Manchester Met reserves the right to not grant reduced price entry, if, in their opinion, such action is justified for any reason.
