Thanks to Rachel, for posting these 😀
Reblogged this on All About Writing and more.
Great info! Thanks for sharing. I’ve never entered my work in a contest, but I do see a fit in this list and so my mind is racing. Should I or shouldn’t I? 🙂
You should! The worse they can do is say no. It’s certainly worth a shot. 🙂
Thank you Rachael, I wish someone would post a list of British ones too, they appear to be elusive. I will give some of these a go if they don’t mind interlopers from across the pond. A superb post !
Ah, yeah. I’m in the US so I don’t typically look at the overseas contests. Good luck though!
Thank you, we arevglad (the royal wee) to have your expertise. Thank you again.
Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure.
Some of these look interesting. As always thanks for your great work.
Good luck, I hope you submit to some.
I plan to. Good luck if you submit.
Thanks!
