If short and sharp and twisted is your thing, here's the contest for you! The Stringybark Short Story Award, now in its third year, is looking for short stories, up to a maximum of 1500 words, in any genre for its annual contest. There are only two requirements: there has to be a 'nifty twist' at the end which will leave the judges gasping (well, ok, entertain them at least!), and it must in some way, shape or form, have a link to Australia.
Entry fee: AUD$9.75 for one entry, $18 for two stories, $25 for a maximum of three stories
Prize: First prize: AUD$300 cash; Second AUD$125; 3rd AUD$50. All prize winners also receive a certificate, paper and electronic publication in The Stringybark Award Anthology and a free copy of the anthology. Highly commended stories may also be published in the Anthology.
Open to: Anyone, anywhere, any age, writing in English
Deadline: 4 March 2012
