The Bristol Prize 2011

There's another short story competition that is now open (check out The Commonwealth Foundation's one if you missed me mentioning it the other day) and that's The Bristol Prize.

This one you have to pay for - it's £7 - and it's 3,000 words or less that's required, but your story can be on any theme or subject, in any style. First prize is £1000, plus a £150 Waterstone’s gift card; second prize is £700, plus a £100 Waterstone’s gift card; third prize is £400, plus a £100 Waterstone’s gift card. The other 17 writers who feature on the shortlist will receive £100; all 20 shortlisted stories will be published in the Bristol Short Story Prize Anthology, Volume 4.

Full rules can be found on their website, the deadline is 31st March, and entries can be made by post or online. What are you waiting for - get writing and good luck!
