The Commonwealth Short Story Competition is an annual scheme to promote new creative writing for radio, funded and administered by the Commonwealth Foundation and the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association.
Entry is open to all Commonwealth citizens aged 19 and over to send in original, unpublished short stories for radio.
The 2011 Commonwealth Short Story Competition will open for entry via the online entry form from 15 January to 1 March 2011. Entries should be original, unpublished, in English and no more than 600 words in length. Entries can be on any subject, but there will be a special award for entries relating to the 2011 Commonwealth theme, ‘Women as Agents of Change’ and a special award for a short story for children.
We are interested in using the winning stories more widely and promoting literacy around the Commonwealth. We are actively seeking partners to enable the competition to grow - please contact us if you are interested in supporting any aspect of the competition.
