ENTRY IS NOW CLOSED & IN PREPARATION FOR THE JUDGING. RESULTS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN LATE FEBRUARY.
The first prize is £60 with two runner-up prizes of £10.
The closing date is Monday 4th Jan 2010. Should there be a postal strike at that time, we will extend the deadline, check with our website. The results will be announced in late February 2010. We are planning to produce an anthology containing the winning and short-listed stories. There will be more details about this on our website when the results are announced.
