Short Story Competition
UNICEF SHORT STORY COMPETITION
Got it in you to cut to the marrow and chill the heart? Then why not enter Glasgow UNICEF's short story competition?
The topic is 'crime', the word count is 1,500 words and the way you write it is entirely up to you! The only stipulation is that we'd like the phrase: 'out of the darkness' to appear somewhere in the story.
Crime stories can be crafted in a number of ways - from cosy whodunits to searing psychological thrillers. It might be you want to come up with an ingenious twist in the tale, a narrator who can't be trusted - or what about examining crime from the victim's point of view?
Whatever way you approach it, Glasgow UNICEF would like to hear from you. The closing date for the competition is 1st September 2009. Each entry costs £6, with all proceeds going to UNICEF. Entries will be judged by writers Helen Fitzgerald & Karen Campbell, with the winner receiving £50 book tokens and the story will be published in localpress (currently under negotiation). The winner will also be presented with an award at UNICEF's Glasgow Crime Night in October by prominent crime writers Helen Fitzgerald/Karen Campbell.
