Here is one Hull of a competition for your delectation!
The biennial short story contest with multiple cash prizes and a most unique cherry-on-the-top prize for the ultimate winner: To Hull and Back (run by Christopher Fielden), is looking for your short stories with a humorous element- this can be dark, twisted humour, or fluffy pink silliness, as long as there is no gratuitous sex or violence, it will be welcomed with open arms.
There is no lower word limit, but the absolute maximum (including title) is 2,500 words.

Are you still wondering what the cherry-on-top is?
Every shortlisted story is included in the the biennial anthology... but the overall winner will feature on the front cover of the 2021 anthology. That's not all, if they want to, they can literally be taken to Hull (and Back). Christopher Fielden will film the anthology, strapped to the handlebars of a Harley Davidson, on an epic 460 miles journey. And if the winner is of dubious good sense- they can even cling on to the back for the trip! The copy will be presented to the winner (possibly slightly damp, depending on weather) with an authentication certifying that it is the one and only copy that has been officially driven to Hull and Back.
Could there be a more ludicrous prize in the history of literary accolades?
