Results of the Jonathan Swift Creative Writing Awards 2021
Dear competitors,
Due to the current rates of infections and hospitalisations of Covid19
we have, regretfully, decided not to hold our celebratory ceremony again this
year. The Saggart Heritage Centre is small and not adequately ventilated, thus
we believe this decision is in the best interest of all persons involved.
We hope and pray that in 2022 we will be able to enjoy, once more, the
joy and conviviality of our gatherings to honour Jonathan Swift and the
creative power of the written/spoken word.
We thank all of you for entering our competition and for your continued support. We also wish you health and many happy writing hours.
