CSSA PORTSMOUTH (CHINESE STUDENTS & SCHOLARS ASSOCIATION IN PORTSMOUTH)
Chinese New Year celebrations begin on 23rd January, 2012 and end on Lantern Festival, 6th February 2012. The dragon will be the icon of this 2012 Chinese year. Chinese Students & Scholars Association in Portsmouth is planning to hold a Chinese New Year Stage Show in the New Theatre Royal (20-24 Guildhall Walk, Portsmouth PO1 2DD) on 5th February, 2012. "About three hundred people are expected to attend the show, and we are planning to play New Year greeting videos for our sponsors during the event. For best advertising effect, we will also print our sponsors' logos and short advertising text/contact information on our event brochures. If required we can even print your information on the tickets; however, it depends on how much you would like to offer. There are about a thousand Chinese students studying at the University of Portsmouth - so this could be a great opportunity for your company to promote your products/services. Our association is run by voluntary students and managed by the Chinese Embassy in London, and we have regular activities during the whole term period. In addition, we will donate 25% of our ticket revenue and sponsorship funds to helping children in poverty-stricken mountain areas of China, to be confirmed by an official notarisation. The rest of the funds will all be spent on the organisation of the stage show". Contact: Zhuoqun He. Address: Flat 6, Morecambe Court, Rivers Street, Southsea PO5 4PN. Tel.: 07748632021. E-mail:

BRIT WRITERS' AWARDS
The Brit Writers Awards Unpublished is the largest creative writing initiative in the UK. The inaugural event which was held in July 2010 at the O2 was a runaway success and the organisers are now gearing up for the 2011 awards which promise to be even bigger and better. With over 21,000 entries received, the Brit Writers' Awards can already boast a position as the biggest annual event on the UK's literary calendar. It provides the first ever 'springboard' for unpublished and emerging writers of every age group, community and writing style, and is offering £10,000 to the overall winner - the largest prize fund ever offered to unpublished writers. "The gala awards ceremony has inspired and engaged every community in the UK - being the first ever high-profile stage for unpublished writers of all ages. The gala awards will be a glittering, star-studded event at a top class London venue, featuring key figures from the publishing, media and corporate world. However, the real stars at the event will be the schoolchildren, local literacy leaders and community members from diverse backgrounds who seized the challenge, picked up a pen and wrote something extraordinary. The evening will celebrate their success and how this project has inspired ordinary people into creative writing". Tailored sponsorship packages are being offered for around £20,000.
