We’re up and running - and the monthly Global Short Story Competition is proving a success.
The competition is designed to appeal to writers everywhere, from the arid outback of Australia to the baking deserts of Africa, the towering skyscrapers of the United States to the humid cities of Asia, the bustling capitals of Europe to the steamy villages of South America.
What makes this competition different? Well, for a start we will be marketing it in every country in the world and it will happen every month.
Each month, we will select a winning story and a highly commended work to receive a cash prize. Winning stories will also be posted on our website.
At the end of twelve months, each winning story will be considered for an annual cash prize.
The experience of Certys Limited in running previous short story competitions (including Orange New Voices), has convinced us that there are writers waiting to be discovered. Writers like you!
So far, this competition has attracted brilliant stories from Australia to France, Italy to South Korea, the US and Canada to Romania and Finland.
Certys director and competition administrator, the crime novelist John Dean, said: “We have always known that there is a lot of talent out there, much of it yet to be discovered. We are helping to discover it.”
The competition is being supported by Darlington Arts Centre.
