Nobrow Short Story Competition
Nobrow Short Story Competition for writers! Up to twelve winning entries will be published in our short story anthology, and this beautifully illustrated book will celebrate the best short fiction and non-fiction writing.
Our theme is ‘The Censor'. You can interpret this in any way you wish - it could represent censoring of the past, present and future; the self; the state; or the effects of censorship on everyday life. As a provocation we hope our theme can provide a rich vein of storytelling inspiration for anyone wishing to take part in the competition. We are looking for inclusive, surprising, ingenious and diverse responses that capture our minds and hold us until every word is devoured.
A submission is defined as a short story of up to 3,000 words or a creative non-fiction piece of up to 3,000 words.
It is completely free to enter, and we welcome submissions that you may already have written as long as they have not been previously published and can be related to the theme of The Censor.
By entering writers give permission for their story or crative non-fiction piece to be used in the anthology.
Prizes
An overall winner will receive £2000.
All selected contributors will receive £150 and two complimentary copies of the book, and will be invited to attend events including a launch and readings.
