Rhys Davies short story competition

The 2009 Rhys Davies Short Story Competition could be your big chance to make your mark on the Welsh literary scene and get your hands on the First Prize of £1000 for your short fiction. A further ten equal runner-up prizes of £100 are also available.

Plus, the 2009 competition sees Academi continuing to work with BBC Radio Wales with the aim of broadcasting a selection of the winning stories on Radio Wales and Radio 4.

The competition is open to writers currently living in or born in Wales. Your story can be in any style and on any subject. However, it must be no more than 2,500 words in length, previously unpublished, in English and not a translation of another author’s work.

Entry fee is £6.00 per story.

The deadline was Tuesday 1 September 2009

The Rhys Davies Short Story Competition is administered by Academi and sponsored by The Rhys Davies Trust, a body which has as its aim the fostering of Welsh writing in English.
