Scottish Book Trust 50 word Fiction competition
Age limit: 5-18
This is a monthly competition - deadline is usually the 28th of each month
Each month we'll provide a prompt to get you started, but where the story goes from there is entirely up to you. Your entry must be exactly 50 words, not including the title. The competition includes four categories:
- adult writers
- all-age Gaelic writers
- young writers 5-11
- young writers 12-18.
The entries will be judged by a panel and the four winning stories will be published on our website roughly two weeks after the closing date. A prize will be awarded to a writer in each category.
Final Deadline:
Usually 28th of each month
