The English Department announces the annual competition for prizes in writing.
The prizes are cash awards ranging from $50 to $500.
When it comes to getting your work noticed, there’s little better than winning or being shortlisted for a writing competition…
and the odds of that happening aren’t as long as you think.
As well as the first place prize money there are several supplementary awards, including one for writers based in Dorset. Top Prize: £1,000 | Categories: Short Story | Deadline: May | Fee: £8 This prize, run by Brick Lane Bookshop, is open to all UK residents for original short stories between 1,000 and 5,000 words.
Its aim is to celebrate short stories and to give emerging writers encouragement and a little financial space to write.
Every competition listed here produces one or more winners every year, as well as numerous honourable mentions and shortlisted writers.
But in order to be selected, your first have to pick a competition to enter.
Top Prize: £500/Feedback | Categories: Short Story/Poem | Deadline: June | Fee: £9 The winners, in each category, will receive a cash prize of £500, feedback on a piece of work of their choice from a leading literary agent (or Editor as appropriate) and a year’s free membership to the Society of Authors, which includes access to advice and resources on all aspects of the business of writing.
Top Prize: £1000 | Categories: Flash | Deadline: February/July/October | Fee: £9 The goal of this contest is to promote flash fiction for both writers and readers, and to bring the genre to a wider audience.
