Congratulations to those who made the long list. Commiserations to those who didn’t this time. The standard of entries was high. There were 135 entries in total (including Bursary and 50% Discounted categories). If you didn’t get through to the final 20 this time, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and enter our Flash Fiction or Microfiction competitions, both deadlines set for 31st March 2023. The writers who make it to the ranks of the professionals are the ones who combine imagination, aspiration, determination and resilience.

The announcement of the short list of 10 will happen on the News Page same time next week. So, pop back to see which stories made the cut.
