The BCSA is here to excite your interest in all things Czech and Slovak – from history to today's politics, architecture to film, sport to literature.
Membership of the BCSA offers a host of stimulating events, unrivalled networking opportunities, and plenty of fun.
2025 BCSA Writing Competition
“Liberation” –- this is the suggested (but not compulsory) theme of this year’s British Czech & Slovak Association writing competition. It’s prompted by 2025 seeing the 80th anniversary of the ending of World War Two. If you choose to write on this theme it can be related to that anniversary but it needn’t be – it could be something on a much more individual, personal or local level.
The first prize is £400 and the second prize £150.
The closing date is midnight on 31 July 2025.
