Categories & Prizes

Submission period from 1 April 2022 to 31 July 2023.

Stories may be autobiographical or biographical. This means that you can tell your own story or someone else’s – with their permission.


Our editors will be giving feedback on story drafts in June. We urge contributors to make the most of Feedback Month and to utilise this service before making their story submissions.
