We know all our entrants have been waiting for news on the 2015 Short Story Competition and we’re excited to have an update for you. We received a staggering number of entries and have enjoyed reading stories that have uplifted and saddened, perplexed and provoked, entertained and challenged. A shortlist of entries has been sent to our esteemed judges Susan Hill, Alessandro Gallenzi and Kevan Manwaring, who will be choosing 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. These will be published on our website, along with a selection of ‘highly commended’ stories, next week. Please keep an eye on the website for the announcement.

We will be honouring our winners at a prizegiving event which will be held at the House of Commons on the 22nd Februrary. Hopeful winners, save the date!
