Hello Scribblers
Here is a competition you may be interested in.
The prize is for the best short story submitted in the Royal Society of Literature's 21st annual competition.
The prize commemorates the work of British writer VS Pritchett who recognised the art of short story writing as 'exquisitely difficult!' He was known for his 'ironic style' and 'lively portaits of middle-class life'.
The first prize story writer will win £1,000 and the story will be published in the RSL review and in 'Prospect online'.
Word count should be between 2,000 and 4,000 words and the deadline is midnight on Friday 3rd July.

There is a fee for submitting, though there are 50 places free of charge for writers on a low income.
