The Observer / Burgess Prize for Arts Journalism is now open for entries.

This is a review writing competition with a prize fund of £4,000 and a chance to be published in the Observer newspaper.

Maybe you’re a journalist, critic or blogger – or none of those. Your entry should be a previously unpublished review of up to 800 words on new work in the arts.

The Observer / Burgess Prize for Arts Journalism welcomes entries from anywhere in the world, but entries should be in English.

The winning piece could be about an album, book, concert, exhibition, film, live stream, social media entertainment, or television show, or anything else that offers the opportunity to write a lively and thoughtful piece.
