+Our annual writing competition, the _Sangschaw_, is open for submissions until
+the 31st of January! As ever, we will provide feedback for every entry

+  Scots prose.

+  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.

+## Avoch album project
+
+Musician and proud Avochie [Grace Stewart Skinner][gs-skinner] has been toiling
+away at an album project which seeks to celebrate the vulnerable dialect of her
+home village of Avoch, near Inverness.
+
+With the help of corporate funders including Creative Scotland, the hard work of
+research and recording the voices of local people is now all but done. All that
+remains is to take it to the studio, but with funding for musical projects being
+rather tight, she's seeking a little more help to get the project over the line.
+
+To learn more or pledge some support for the project, have a look at Grace's
+[Crowdfunder][avochie-crowdfunder].
