Commonwealth Short Story Competition

The Commonwealth Short Story Competition is an annual scheme to promote new creative writing for radio, funded and administered by the Commonwealth Foundation and the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association.

Entry is open to all Commonwealth citizens aged 19 and over to send in original, unpublished short stories for radio.

The 2010 competition closed at the end of March and the winners will be announced in September.

The 2011 Commonwealth Short Story Competition will open for entry in January 2011.

We are interested in using the winning stories more widely and promoting literacy around the Commonwealth. We are actively seeking partners to enable the competition to grow - please contact us if you are interested in supporting any aspect of the competition.
