+title: Sangschaw 2026
+summary: >-
+ The Sangschaw 2026 is open for entries.
+---
+
+Our annual writing competition, the _Sangschaw_, is open for submissions until the 31st of January!
+As ever, we will provide feedback for every entry regardless of whether or not you win an award.
+It’s unusual for competitions like us to provide feedback on entries, but we think it’s important to
+help writers develop. 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 or 80 lines 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 80 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. Remember,
+it’s £5 for one submission or £12 for three.

+Then, send your entries to [lallans@hotmail.co.uk](mailto:lallans@hotmail.co.uk) along with proof of
+payment. For example, you could send a picture of your bank statement, or a copy of the transaction
+reference.
+
