Contest for Magic Oxygen Literary Prize(MOLP)

In the spring of 2014, launched a pioneering global writing competition called the Magic Oxygen Literary Prize(MOLP)

It had two categories – short stories and poetry – a prestigious £3,000 prize fund and three environmental promises built into its foundations:

• to plant a tree for every single entry received, in Bore, Kenya,
• to fund the build of an urgently needed new classroom at Kundeni Primary School in the same community,
• to send every entrant an electronic certificate with the clickable GPS co-ordinates of their tree

MOLP is now open for the fourth year running!

The Magic Oxygen Literary Prize is now open for entries until 31^st December 2017.

MOLP has an incredible prize fund of £3,000, which will be awarded in each category as follows:




First Prize – £1,000
Second Prize – £300
Third Prize – £100
Two Highly Commended – £50

We also plant a tree for every single entry we receive in Boré, Kenya and we’ll email you the GPS coordinates of it once the contest has closed and we’ve received confirmation of them from our Word Forest Coordinator.

Additionally, your entry will also help fund the construction of another much needed new classroom in the same community .

All of this will be done via the newly formed charity The Word Forest Organisation, which was founded as a direct result of the Magic Oxygen Literary Prize
