Submissions have opened for this year’s Oxford – BNU Creative Writing Award, for a short story written by an Oxford University student or member of staff
The Oxford – BNU Creative Writing Award is offered by the Mo Yan International Writing Centre, based at Regent’s Park College and inaugurated in June 2019 to facilitate international and cross-cultural diversity within the global literary community. It is named for 2012 Nobel Laureate Mo Yan, who is an Honorary Fellow of Regent’s Park College.
2022 is the second year of this Award, which is conducted in partnership with Beijing Normal University in parallel competitions held in Oxford and China. We are honoured to have Mo Yan serve as Chair of the Joint Judging Panels and delighted to welcome back last year’s UK Panel judges: Boyd Tonkin, Chair (2020 Benson Medallist of the Royal Society of Literature and Chair of the Man Booker International Prize 2016), Liz Trubridge (Executive Producer of “Downton Abbey”), Davis Bunn (Novelist-in-Residence, Regent’s Park College), and Lynn Robson (Tutorial Fellow in English Literature, Regent’s Park College).
