The 2010 Bristol Short Story Prize is now open.

The competition is open to all, whether UK or non-UK based. Stories can be on any theme or subject and must be previously unpublished or broadcast.

The entry fee is £7 per story. Maximum word count is 3,000, there is no minimum.

Please read the competition rules before entering. We are, once again, delighted that Waterstone's are continuing their gift card sponsorship of the top 3 prizes. This year's awards ceremony will be held at the Arnolfini arts centre, located on Bristol's vibrant harbourside.
