Anthology Nature Writing Competition 2027

The Anthology Nature Writing Competition is an annual writing competition hosted by Anthology, a lifestyle and arts magazine published by Anthology Publishing in Limerick, Ireland. It celebrates the natural world and encourages readers to explore the outdoors. Possible subjects include wildlife in your own garden, an encounter with an animal, the serenity of a forest, environmental challenges or the healing power of nature.

Entries must be original, previously unpublished essays written in English. Reworked versions of previously published material are not eligible. The competition is open to writers of any age and nationality, living anywhere in the world. Multiple entries are permitted.

The winner receives €300 and publication in a future issue of Anthology. Through a partnership with Reedsy Learning, the winner also receives a one-year Reedsy Learning membership.

Entries are judged on emotional impact, creativity and the ability to captivate the reader. An early bird entry fee of €12 is available until 28 February 2027.
