The Edge is a free platform for local people to submit a variety of genres and forms in writing, video and photography. We’re here to showcase your ideas and involve everyone in Cheltenham’s creative landscape.

Slam poetry, short stories, movies - wherever your creative eye wanders The Edge is here waiting to see what you can do. We have triggers to help you if you are looking for inspiration, and we have opportunities for you to stand up in front of a camera and perform your work.

Show us something contemporary, funny, thought provoking - anything you want. All we ask is that you avoid swearing and explicit or offensive content, and the rest is up to you.

To ask any questions, find out when you can get yourself on camera or simply submit your work to be showcased on The Edge please contact us at:
