2025 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.
