The 2016 Commonwealth Short Story Prize is now open for entry. The
prize brings stories from new and emerging voices, often from countries
with little or no publishing infrastructure, to the attention of an
international audience.
The Prize is open to all citizens of Commonwealth countries. The
prize is open to published and unpublished writers, but the story
submitted must be previously unpublished. Stories must be submitted in
English but short stories translated into English from other languages
are eligible. Stories must be between 2,000 and 5,000 words.
Each year, we select five winning writers from five different
Commonwealth regions, one of whom is chosen as the overall winner.
Regional winners receive £2,500 (US$3,835) and the overall winner
receives £5,000 (US$7,670). If the winning short story is a translation
into English, the translator receives equal prize money.
The deadline is 1 November 2015.
