As ever, we will provide feedback for every entry +regardless of whether or not you win an award.

We have three prizes: + +- The **Robert McLellan Prize for Scots Prose**: up to 3000 words of original + Scots prose. +- The **John MacPhail Law Prize for Translation**: up to 3000 words of + original translation into Scots from another language. Provide along with a + copy of the original text. +- The **Hugh MacDiarmaid Tassie for Poetry**: up to 60 lines of original Scots + poetry. + +Writers new and old are all welcome, so don’t hold back! We look forward to +having your entries! + +You can enter for £5 for one category, £10 for two or £12 for all three, +whether that’s all in the same category or spread across the three. You can +submit either by email or by post. + +### Submitting by email + +If you would like to submit by email, first pay by bank transfer to the +following account.

The aim is to +promote the status of the Scots language as well as to give visitors the +opportunity to hear the voices of the court in something approaching their own +language. + +You can read more +<Link href="https://hes-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/new-scots-lug-in-guide-at-lithgae-palace">about the new audio guides on the Historic Environment Scotland website</Link>. + +As far as we know, this is the first such venture, not only by Historic +Environment Scotland, but at any major tourist attraction. Can anybody think of +anything similar? Answers on a postcard please! + +## Haven’t received Lallans 103 yet? + +It has come to the attention of George, our membership secretary, that there +has been an error with the posting of _Lallans_ 103. Two members, both +subscribers entitled to issue 103, failed to receive their copies. + +If you haven’t yet received your copy of _Lallans_ 103, which he posted out on +Wednesday the 7th of November, please email George at +<Link href="mailto:georgetwatt@hotmail.com">georgetwatt@hotmail.com</Link> +and make us aware of it. A copy of _Lallans_ 103 will be posted out to you +straight away! + +## New format for Eiks an Ens + +Old friends will recall that _Eiks an Ens_ has formerly been a literary +magazine to accompany _Lallans_. We on the Committee felt that this neither +gave _Eiks_ the distinct identity which it deserved, nor took full advantage of +the opportunity it afforded to hold our community together. + +Therefore, this is the first issue of _Eiks_ to take a new format, where we’ll +be endeavouring to share current affairs in the world of Scots language and +literature, especially where it relates directly to our membership. + +So send us in your inside information! If you’ve spotted something you think we +ought to share in the next _Eiks_, send it to lallans@hotmail.co.uk. |
