A new writing prize

Welcome to the Bristol Short Story Prize - an exciting, new, annual writing competition that offers writers a great chance to get into print. The Prize is open to all and entries can be on any theme or subject.

The 20 best stories selected by the judges will be published in the first Bristol Short Story Prize Anthology under the Bristol Review of Books imprint. Our vastly experienced panel of judges will also award first, second and third prizes of £300, £200 and £100 and these three stories will be published in the Bristol Review of Books magazine as well as in the Prize Anthology.

The prizes will be presented and the winners announced at an awards ceremony hosted by the Galleries branch of Waterstone’s in the centre of Bristol on Saturday June 28th. The Prize Anthology will also be launched at the ceremony.
