Writers’ & Artists’ Short Story Competition 2024
There’s not much time before the deadline of this competition, but I’m sure any Ely Writer could come up with something worthy of an entry to the Writers’ & Artists’ Short Story Competition 2024.
Enter our free annual short story competition and be in with a chance of winning a place on an Arvon Residential Writing Week (worth £850) as well as seeing your story published on our site.
To enter, all you have to do is submit a short story (for adults) of no more than 2,000 words on the theme of risk via our online competition form, and ensure that you have a (free!) account on our website. You can attach your entry in either txt, pdf, doc, or docx format, while you can add your contact details and a little bit of information about yourself and your writing experience in the ‘Covering letter’ field if you’d like.
The closing date for entries is midnight 12th February 2024, and the winner – along with two runners-up – will be announced on the blog pages of this site in March 2024.
