Penguin Random House is passionate about encouraging the next generation of readers and authors and promoting diverse voices and stories. For 25 years, we have supported this mission through the Penguin Random House Creative Writing Awards, which in 2019 is entering into an innovative new partnership with We Need Diverse Books. Through this program, we award college scholarships of up to $10,000 each to five U.S. high school seniors, nationwide.
Creative Writing Awards winners have gone on to become professional and award-winning authors. Since 1994, this program has awarded more than $2.7 million dollars to public high school students for original poetry, memoir/personal essay, fiction/drama, and spoken-word compositions. This signature program continues to empower and celebrate hundreds of young writers each year and underscores our unwavering commitment to identifying and nurturing new literary talent.
