Description: Writing the City is a community of new, emerging and established writers who share their work, give and receive feedback and get invaluable opportunities to take their writing forward. The British Council is the UK's international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations. Every year in Singapore we bring together artists from across the spectrum to share experiences and their work. Our purpose is to build mutually beneficial relationships between people in the UK and Singapore and to increase Singaporeans’ appreciation of the UK’s creative ideas and achievements. We believe that our community writing platform is an exciting development for the East Asian literary scenes. City Unwritten, a digital map, pinpoints locations relating to a selection of stories and poems. And once a year, together with the online community, a panel of acclaimed writers will select the best works to be made into short films, animations, games or songs. Writing the City is led by the British Council and supported by the National Arts Council.
