Short Story Competition

The Literature Network is pleased to announce the winner of it's second Annual Short Story Competition for 2007. Long-time member Petrarch's Love won with her story "Robbed", which can be read here.

This is the second successful year of this competition, and we are pleased to say that the 2008 Competition is now under way. Please see this thread for details.

We are delighted to provide a forum for authors young and old to share their works and invite you too to consider joining in! This Competition is entirely for The Literature Network's Members; it would not be a success without you. You submit your stories, you vote for them, you decide the winner. The winner gets $300 prize money.

There are 5 Selection Polls throughout the year. The deadline for the final one is 30 September 2008, so, you have until then to fulfil the qualifications of the Competition and prepare and submit your story! Please see the Competition Rules thread for further details.
