Short Story Competition 2012 Has Closed

Our second short story competition has now closed. Thank you to all those who sent in entries. The variety of themes and writing styles is amazing! Our readers are now busy reading and selecting the long-list and will then decide on the short-list, both of which will be published here, so keep a look out for your story title. The lists will consist of the story titles only until after the final judging, when we will add authors' names.

Good luck!
