The Awards Ceremony

Zero Tolerance hosts an annual Awards Ceremony to announce the winners of the Write to End Violence Against Women Awards during the 16 Days of Action on Violence Against Women (25 November - 10 December).

We are very grateful to have had a wealth of parliamentary support for the awards with a range of sponsors through the years.

This year we are happy to announce that Jackie Baillie MSP will be sponsoring the awards at the Scottish Parliament.

The awards ceremony is free to attend and we will open tickets closer to the time.

Shortlisted writers are offered a stipend for travel costs if this would otherwise be a barrier to them attending.
