Patuka Press deserve this award 100%. They have provided such an important outlet for new #Gibraltar writing. It has encouraged me to explore with my writing, it makes me sit down and produce new work. It's totally independent which means you can let rip and be alternative and edgy.
Patuka Press won a Cultural Award last night for best educational project. We are grateful to everyone who voted for us and to all those local writers who have supported us by sending poems, stories and essays over the last two years.
