Hello Scribblers
I'm pleased to tell you all about a competition that is free to enter. The Dinesh Allirajah Prize for Short Fiction was set up by Comma Press following the sudden death of the talented writer, lecturer and blogger.
Dinesh Allirajah was a founding board member and director of Comma Press. He loved to write short fiction, and this competition is a legacy of that love.
The 2021 Prize is on the theme 'Home'. The deadline for entry is Friday 23rd October and the word count is slightly more than some Scribblers are used to: between 2,000 and 6,000 words in length.
Stories should not have been previously published elsewhere. The short-listed entries will be published in an e-book, and the winning entry will reecive a prize of £500. Comma Press are also hoping that, circumstances permitting, all short listers will be invited to a prize-giving event.
