The exhibition will display original, creative work by young people aged 12 – 18 inspired by their readings of the 2014 Burt Award for Caribbean Literature winning books. We are also accepting submissions inspired by other excellent works of Caribbean Literature.

- Creative writing
- Book Reviews
- Song lyrics
- Anything that illustrates how you have been encouraged and excited by the Caribbean authors that you’ve been reading.
Pieces for the exhibition should be submitted to [email protected] by 22 April 2015 with the subject line “student exhibition submission”.
Photos or scans of artwork should be sent by email. Written submissions should be no more than 1,000 words.
Entries must be accompanied by a short email with a brief biographical note listing the student’s name, age, school, the title of his or her piece and the title and author of the literature that inspired the piece.
There will be prizes for the top exhibition submission(s), including free tickets to the VERSES Bocas Poetry Slam Finals, the finale event of the NGC Bocas Lit Fest on 3 May at the Globe Theatre, and personalised, signed copies of Burt Award winning books.
