For this edition, they will be on the lookout for the outstanding manuscript. If you think you have the criteria then don't hesitate to send in your manuscript.

The outstanding here should not serve as an impediment to you submitting to them. Although, in their capacity they can only publish 4-6 books annually due to the fact that they have to be very selective in what they give to the public (in terms of publishing).

Entrants must be aged 18 or over, on April 29, 2020.

Entrants do not need to be professional writers but should be serious about the craft and must be interested in developing their skills.

Entrants could come from anywhere in the world. (Note that: “Family members of the judges and those who have already attended the IWR are not eligible to apply.)

There is no entry fee.

Partial funding covers the participant fee only; it doesn’t cover accommodation or round-trip flights.

NOTE: It is advisable that you apply for the category that is most suitable for you. If you apply for a full award, it is “very unlikely” that you’ll be considered for a partial funding.
