Many congratulations to May Robinson, current 2nd-year undergraduate, for reaching the final shortlist in the Classical Association’s 2023-4 "CA X Bloomsbury" Competition, for her poem ‘Pomegranate Juice’.

In 2023, in partnership with Bloomsbury Publishing, the CA ran a creative writing competition to give girls, young women and non-binary writers aged 19 or under the opportunity to have their creative work appear alongside bestselling authors Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint. Entrants were asked to submit a piece of creative writing of 1500 words or less, inspired by the classical world, and there were hundreds of amazing entries.
