This Summer, at the University of Leicester’s Vaughan Centre for Lifelong Learning, we’re running our first ever Short Story competition. It’s open to previously unpublished writers in two age categories: adult (over 21) and Junior (10-15) from Leicester and surrounding areas.

The closing date is the 12^th Sept 2014. There’s a £300 prize for the adult winner and £100 for the junior winner. All shortlisted stories from the adults’ competition will be published in an anthology.

Detailed information about the competition can be found here.
