Why not enter the Bread and Roses Songwriting and Spoken Word Award?
MOLLIE BROWN invites readers to help develop understanding of the cultural struggle for a better world

THE Communication Workers’ Union (CWU) and Culture Matters are pleased to announce the second edition of their successful Bread and Roses Songwriting and Spoken Word Award, which is also supported and sponsored by the Musicians’ Union.

The award is an example of cultural democracy — the struggle for a more democratic and socialist approach to the arts and all cultural activities, accompanying the struggle of the working class for political and economic democracy.

Our aim is to encouraging young and emerging musicians and performers in particular to write material relevant to working-class people, culture and communities.
