Young Wine Writer Awards open for entries
Posted by Ray O'Connor | Filed under Media, Wine Writing
The Circle of Wine Writers are once again offering this annual award to help promote the promise of new, aspiring wine writers. Now in its 10th year, the award is open to anyone aged 30 or under by the end of 2010 who is based in the UK. Applicants should not yet have had a wine book published nor yet be an established wine columnist or regular contributor to a magazine. They are looking for wine-writing potential and commitment to popular consumer wine-writing rather than extensive knowledge or experience.
Last years winner: Nicola Cornelius
Besides the fame and glory, the winning entrant will win £1000, sponsored by Pavilion Books, an imprint of Anova Books and publishers of Oz Clarke and Michael Broadbent, to enable the winner to travel to a wine region of his or her choice to gain first-hand experience and to develop a book or article based on that experience.
As if that wasn’t enough, Wine Australia sponsor a 14-day, expenses-paid trip to the wine regions of Australia. The trip will include a tour of the key wine regions, opportunities to meet the growers and one-on one tastings with leading producers. The winner will also get the chance to write articles about the trip for the Wine Australia website.
