Willesden Short Story Comp
The Willesden Short Story Prize 2006 In association with Sloe Wine First prize: Ed's Big Ugly Mug* (special edition, inscribed Short Story Prize 2006) Runner-up prize: Mug for Munchkins** (special edition, inscribed Short Story Prize 2006)

There is no theme, and no word limit other than our editorial team's variable attention span. If you can hold their attention you deserve a prize. They have read a lot of great short stories and want to read as many more as possible. If your entry is not a short story they will know, so don't send a novel. If it's a chapter from a novel, don't tell us - it should stand alone. If it stands alone, we don't care whether it's part of a bigger work, but we don't want to know beforehand.

New Website Changes
Due to the increased demand of submissions we have decided to change our submissions policy. We cannot afford to pay everyone for their stories/poems, which makes the selection process that much harder.
In order to reverse this stunting of the website, we want more writers to submit stories for the reader's benefit but there will not be any payment for submissions.
Instead we will have more contests for submissions.
So we would appreciate your continued support in providing quality short stories for the site.
