This year’s
Carmel Bird Short Story Award Competition
encourages you to be inspired by Rod
Serling’s The Twilight Zone, by its mood,
themes, characters, settings, symbols, liberal ideas, strangeness and
openness;
but you should also ponder the zone in relation to your own particular,
Australian, context.
This competition invites zone-style, or zone-inspired stories from the bottom of
the world.
Ghost stories, tales of the uncanny, unexpected and the mysterious are all
welcome.
First prize will be $500, and
all stories will be considered for publication in the Spineless Wonders short
fiction anthology.
Gold
Coast Writers’ Workshops is hosting a short story competition with the theme
"What a week it's been...".
First
prize is a $250 voucher toward production of your book and $100 cash.
The
word limit for entries is 1500.
