Riyadh Youth Literary Festival

Young authors: get ready to dive into creating stories, poems, and all things literary. Transform your passion into real writing skills. Join the Riyadh Youth Literary Festival! Hey young book lovers! Get ready to dive into a world of stories, ideas, and creativity at the Riyadh Youth Literary Festival. This in-person event is the perfect place for young writers to enjoy fun workshops and activities designed to spark creativity. Whether you're into writing, poetry, or just really love to read, this festival is your chance to connect and celebrate all things literature. We have three distinct age groups with different content tracks: Juniors (10-13), Seniors (14-17) and Emerging Creatives (18-19). Parents of attending children can also add a free session with a teacher who builds curriculum for international schools. Our Youth Writing Competition will allow participating young writers to submit their creations for critical evaluation, with top selections celebrated onstage and a trophy for the grand winner in two separate age groups. You will need to submit a separate registration form to access the BISR Al Waha campus; we will provide it after you purchase tickets.
