Commonwealth Short Story Prize
Friends and colleagues,The Commonwealth Foundation has just relaunched their revamped literature programme, with a new Commonwealth Writers initiative.
This includes a rethinking of the former Commonwealth Short Story Competition. It's been renamed the Commonwealth Short Story Prize, and the word limit has been raised substantially to 2,000-3,000 words. Previously the competition was tailored for short pieces suitable for radio broadcast. It's now aimed at short fiction for print publication. View details...
