Closing 31st Jan 2017 - Tamworth Writing Competition
(linked to Tamworth Literary Festival)
This short story competition is only open to those who are ‘not
yet published’ so if you’re worried about entering competitions where you might
be up against the ‘big boys’ (and girls), take a look. The prizes aren’t huge
(£100 first prize) and it costs £4 to enter but writing competitions that cater
for new writers are few and far between, so it may be worth a punt if you fall
into that category.
The theme is open in as much as you can write any kind of story
but it must feature a real Tamworth building or address (eg: the Castle – but I
suspect many people will choose that. There’s also a Snowdome! And a
McDonald's. I know that because I worked there once, when I was a student).
Closing 13th Feb 2017 - Writers & Artists’ Yearbook Short Story Competition
This is FREE to enter, you don’t have to be a UK resident,
there’s no theme and all you have to do is submit a short story (for adults) of
no more than 2,000 words.’
Don’t forget to register with the website too. You must do that
in order to be eligible to enter.
Bear in mind that winners from the last few years have all been
literary and ‘different’, so, my advice would be, you can really let your
imagination run wild with this one! Anything goes and I would say, the wackier,
the better.
