Our Square Mile
Local hope for a future together.
With life as we know it turned on its head, a lot of us have some time to think. Covid-19 has brought to light the strength of local communities and the benefits that acting locally can have on our environment.
As we look to the future, Sustainable Wales wants us as communities to imagine a more local, more sustainable, and more ethical way of living and being in the world.
‘Our Square Mile’ is a project to help us to imagine that future. We will be paying five writers to write any form of work imagining the square mile outside their front door over the next ten years.
We want you to hear your hopes and fears, your love and your passion for the place where you live.
Each writer will be paid £100 to write a piece of 3-5 pages in length to be published on our website, alongside five other pieces written by working writers from across Wales. Please write in the language(s) you feel most comfortable writing in.
If selected, we will be sure to check that you are happy with the final piece prior to publication.
Deadline for submissions is Midday 1 September 2020. (submissions now closed)
This is a difficult time for us all. Help us to imagine a better future. Together.

Ein Milltir Sgwâr
Ers covid-19, mae bywyd yn hollol wahanol. Eto, mae’r pandemic wedi amlygu’r pwer y gymuned lleol, ac mae Cymru Gynaliadwy eisiau dathlu potensial pobol dros Gymru i gael newid positif yn ei hardal.
‘Ein Milltir Sgwâr’ yw prosiect i helpu ni dychmygu’r dyfodol yna. Byddwn ni’n talu 5 awdur i ysgrifennu unrhyw fath o waith creadigol yn rhagweld sut fyd bydd ei milltir sgwâr yn y deng mlynedd nesaf.
Hoffwn clywed dy obaith, dy gariad a dy angerdd am dy ardal di.
Bydd pob awdur yn cael ei dalu £100 i ysgrifennu rhywbeth sy’n tua 3-5 tudalen o hyd. Bydd y gwaith yn cael ei arddangos ar ein gwefan ni, efo’r waith gan 5 awduron eraill pwy sy’n weithio dros Gymru. Ysgrifennwch yn y iaith/ieithoedd bo chi’n teimlo’n fwyaf cyfforddus.
Y dyddiad cau yw canol dydd 1af Medi 2020.
Anfonwch eich cais i jon.berry@sustainablewales.org.uk
Dyma amser galed i ni gyd. Helpwch ni i ddychmygu dyfodol gwell. Gyda’n gilydd.
