The Sean O'Faolain Short Story Competition is going up market pricewise and appears to be aiming almost completely at the US writers' market. Do you know how much it costs?
Fee: €15, US $20 or £15
Prizes: €1,500, €500 and Four x €100
and all are published in the literary journal Southword.
So the prizes are paid for with 160 entries. Plus they pay the
Judge:Philip Ó Ceallaigh
a decent enough amount I hope. They don't say if the entries are preselected for him.

Deadline: 31st July 2009
(approx USD $130)
