BWS
Competition deadline. Write an essay or a poem of no more
than 1500 words on the theme: 'Wittgenstein Sixty Years On'
. It can be a personal view or you might like to try your
hand at a little pastiche of Wittgenstein's writing - look
at
http://stevepetersen.net/personal/wittgenstein-fog.html.
You could outdo Michael Frayn by producing your own
affectionate tribute along the same lines: a piece that
reads like Wittgenstein whilst evidently being something
wittily different.
The winner
will be invited to attend the BWS
annual conference in Gregynog where they will read out
their essay, poem or pastiche. A selection of entries will
also be published on the website. Please send entries as
email attachments to
bws@herts.ac.uk. Entries will be judged by the Executive
Committee. Results will be announced by end of June.
(Prize includes conference registration fee, accommodation
and all meals. Should the winner have already registered for
the conference, s/he will be fully refunded.)15 June
