A specially selected panel will shortlist the stories and the final 10 from each age category will be judged by a well known literary figure. The winners will be notified at the beginning of September 2015 and the winning stories will be published on this website.
For those new to short story telling – don’t leave entering the competition too close to the deadline and don’t send in your first attempt. Put the story away for a little while after completion and when you review it, improvements will normally be seen immediately. Any profits will be given to good causes.
