Creative Culture South West Short Fiction Competition

£5.00

Are you a writer with a connection to the South West UK? Did you grow up in Bristol, Cornwall, Dorset, Devon, Gloucestershire, Somerset, or Wiltshire? Have you studied at a university in the region? Did you spend beloved family holidays in the area as a child? This competition could be for you!

This is the first CCSW Writing Competition and we’re looking for short fiction of any genre, 3-4k words.

The best story will win £100, and the top 12 will be published in an anthology, and a portion of proceeds from the sale of these books will be paid to the featured authors as royalties.

Any profits made from this competition will go towards a fund that will enable us to open our own performance and art educational space within the South West.
