The results of the 2010 writing competition held by the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival in association with the Mountaineering Council of Scotland have now been published. The competition aims to encourage creative mountain writing and has been running since 1987 with the poetry category added in 1997. This year the number of entrants was up. The winner in the prose section went to Tom Povey for “When we passed through the Alps”, a recollection of a first Alpine season. First prize in the poetry section was awarded to Mike Blood for “Falzarago Pass”. The winning three entries in each category can be found on the MCofS website, where you can also see the winners of the EMFF film festival.
