Welcome to the Short Story Competition, we're glad you're here! The
competition will end at 23:59:59.99 on the 3rd of March 2024, you can
sign up with this form any time before then. Submissions can be made by
email any time before this date too.
In order for submissions to
be considered, we ask that you keep to a max word count of 2000 words,
and in order to account for discrepancies between word processing
software, that you note down somewhere in your document the word count
as reported by your software. In addition, we'd like it if you can
submit your story in a format that Microsoft Word can open and in A5, so
that we can compile them all nicely into a book.
All stories
submitted will be published in a small anthology, which you can request a
copy of here (it will cost max. €8, and hopefully less). The theme of
this anthology will be Keys, so the story you submit should
reflect that in some way in order to be valid. The story you submit
should not have been published before, even on Wattpad, your personal
website, or the Discord. We'll ask you to verify this in a consent form
which you should hand in with your submission.
To be able to make the
anthology there are some legal things that we need to sort out. In
order to do that we will need every participant to fill in a PDF (the above-mentioned consent form) that we
will send to your email once you signed up. Please send this with your
story to inkcie.bellettrie@gmail.com.
Good luck, have fun, and may the muse be with you :).
