The prize is designed to allow the winner the chance to write undisturbed in the luxurious surroundings of West Dean College.

The winner also has the chance to discuss their work with Myriad’s managing director, Candida Lacey. The winning entry can be an extract from any fiction work in progress – a novel or collection of short stories – and is chosen purely on the strength and promise of the writing by a panel of expert judges.
