This spring marks 60 years since the death of Ludwig Wittgenstein on 29
April.
To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the death of Wittgenstein, the BWS
is running a competition. Write an essay or a poem of no more than 1500
words on the theme: 'Wittgenstein Sixty Years On' . It can be a personal
view or you might like to try your hand at a little pastiche of
Wittgenstein's writing (http://stevepetersen.net/personal/wittgenstein-
fog.html). You could outdo Michael Frayn by producing your own
affectionate tribute along the same lines: a piece that reads like
Wittgenstein whilst evidently being something wittily different.
The winner will be invited to attend the BWS annual conference in Gregynog
where they will read out their essay, poem or pastiche. A selection of
entries will also be published on the website. The deadline is 15 June.
Please send entries as email attachments to bws@xxxxxxxxxxxx Entries will
be judged by the Executive Committee. Results will be announced by end of
June. (Prize includes conference registration fee, accommodation and all
meals)
