Fraudulent emails using AAWP name

We have become aware of fraudulent emails advertising a scam competition that mimics our Emerging Writers’ Prize. The competition targets young, school-aged children. The fraudulent was sent from the following email address: Aawp-prize@outlook.co.uk

As many of you will know, we were recently partnered with UWRF for our Emerging Writers’ Prize. The winner was announced September 1.

We have been in touch with UWRF; they had no prior knowledge of the fraudulent emails.

We have been in contact with Creative Writing Ink (the organisation identified in the email). Creative Writing Ink have never alleged a connection with AAWP and had no prior knowledge of the fraudulent emails.

If you have any questions about AAWP initiatives please visit our Opportunities page.
