"The most important thing, I think, is to have led people to have confidence in themselves, to understand that at last they can sit down and write about their development, write about their happiness and say what they want. And at the same time, to feel what the price is for happiness".
Thomas SANKARA

Who are they looking for?

NMWP is looking for a good narrative (fiction or non-fiction) written specifically for delivery and reading/viewing on a PC or Mac, the web or a portable device such as an iPad or mobile phone. It can be a short story, novel, poem, narrative game, documentary or transmedia work using words, images, film or animation with audience interaction. Interactivity is a key element of new media storytelling.

The NMWP is looking for creativity, so try to be imaginative in creating an engaging story, i.e. combining a number of multimedia elements, such as words on a screen combined with images and video clips. New media writing can be created using a variety of tools, i.e. a word processor, DV camera, social networking tools (i.e. Twitter), mobile phone/s, scanner, augmented reality software - anything goes!

Criteria for all categories:

Innovative use of new (digital) media/transmedia to create an engaging and satisfying fictional or non-fictional story, poem or other form of story.

  • Easy accessibility for the reader/viewer.
  • Effective use of interactive elements.
  • An excellent example of how new media can do things that traditional media cannot.
  • The possibility of reaching a wide audience (i.e. not only specialised interest groups).
Eligibility criteria
  • Anyone can apply!
  • Whether you are a student, a professional, an artist, a writer, a developer, a designer or an enthusiast, the competition is open to all.
  • It is also an international competition, open to anyone outside the UK. Entries must be in English.
