The Chaucer Heritage Trust is very pleased to launch its ninth annual writing competition for schools and home educated students inspired by the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, considered by many England’s greatest medieval poet. The special theme of the competition is ‘Happily ever after?’ Full competition details can be found here.
The Chaucer Heritage Trust was founded in 1992 and aims to further interest, understanding and appreciation of the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, his life and times, and influence. Our writing competitions, which began in 2017, have inspired thousands of poems and stories from young writers around the world. All previous winners and highly commended entries can be read on our website. In 2024, we published the winners of the first five years of the competition. If you would like a copy please get in touch.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our competitions over the years, especially all the young writers. We cannot wait to read your poems and stories!
