We were thrilled to receive so many wonderful stories, essays, and poems. It was a tough choice. Many congratulations to our nine winners whose carefully crafted pieces stirred our judges with their takes on the theme of hope & resilience. They each received a cash prize and a free GWG workshop of their choice.

Thank you to everyone who submitted and gave us the honour of reading your work.

Much gratitude to our judges: Mary-Jane Holmes (fiction), Padraig Rooney (non-fiction), and Yun Wei (poetry).

And special thanks to Quade Hermann and Nicole Scobie whose hard work made the Literary Prize possible, with support from Tara Kerpelman Pueg and Victor Kouassi and readers Ximena Escobar de Nogales, Jeanette Tantillo, Carolyn Thonger, and Sue Wells.

Together we raised CHF 1125 for Cancer Support Switzerland.

Some winners will be available to join us and read their winning work at the GWG Annual General Meeting on 24 May 2025. For more information on the AGM and registration details for members click here.
