Rules
Rules 2013-14
Note, there are significant changes since previous years.
The competition is open to all aged 18 or over, regardless of nationality or country of residence.
Entries must be:
- in English
- double-spaced
- in a normal font size (12 point is fine)
Entries must be entirely your own work and never previously published or broadcast, online or offline.
You can submit as many entries as you like, provided the entry fee is paid for each one. However, please only submit your best stories. In the case of multiple entries, all will be read but no more than one will be short-listed. As the short list is created anonymously, this will be checked at the final short-listing stage and if necessary de-duplicated.
Please provide your real name and details. In the event that your story reaches the short list, you will be given the opportunity to specify a pen name for public use. We reserve the right to disqualify entries by anyone using multiple "identities" if we feel that these have been submitted with the purpose of deception.
Entries submitted on behalf of somebody else are not allowed and are disqualified.
Manuscripts must show no name, address or identifying marks other than the title of the story and any that do will be disqualified. After the anonymous reading and selections, your name and details will be retrieved if your entry has been successful.
The word limit this year is 7,500.
There is no set theme.
Entry is by completing the online entry form and uploading your manuscript in Microsoft Word (".doc" or ".docx") or RTF (".rtf") format to our account in the Submittable.com system.
There is an entry fee of £6 per entry. Entry fees are non-refundable.
Unfortunately we cannot help with any payment problems you might experience due to geographical location, computer system incompatibilities or any other issues. Please do not submit correspondence concerning entries as this will likely break the anonymity and therefore disqualify your entry.
Opening date for submissions: 1 August 2013
Closing date: 20 December 2013 |
