I haven't seen this mentioned in many places so perhaps the chances of winning will be greater.
Grist is a new annual anthology of the best new writing from around the world published by the University of Huddersfield. The judges for this year's competition are Joanne Harris (short fiction) and Simon Armitage (poetry). Focussing on poetry and short fiction, each issue will feature the winners of the Grist annual poetry and short fiction competitions, as well as specially commissioned work from some of the best established writers. Grist is interested in fresh new voices with something to say.
Deadline: 30 November 2008
Entry Fee: £3
Prize: 3 overall winners will receive a cash prize (how much?). The three winners and all runners up will be published in the next issue of Grist
What: Short story up to 3,500 words. See website for other conditions
Poem up to 40 lines. See website for other conditions
Don't you just love Simon Armitage? I'd invite him to my dinner party too.
