Francis MacManus Short Story Competition

It's a competition to write a short story for the ear, for the radio. That's not the same as a story on the page. Read your story out loud. Remember your audience can't go back to check a detail. Think lyric, rhythmic.

Conditions:

• The competition is open to anyone born or resident in Ireland.
• Only one entry per person is allowed.
• Entries must be original work of the author and not previously published or broadcast.
• Stories must be between 1,800 - 2,000 words.
• Entries should be double spaced and type written on one side of A4 paper.
• The Authors name should only appear on the official entry form.

Deadline: 21st January 2013

There is no Entry Fee for Submission. Free
