I wrote “For All Time” (parts 1, 2, and 3 here) for a short story contest. I told you about the contest in the first of the three posts linked above. What I didn’t tell you was how I found out about that contest.
My editor/publicist/manager/mother also writes, largely short stories, and at some point she stumbled across Almond Press and their list of writing competitions. What they do is make a list of creative writing competitions that other groups have set up, take the highlight information and a link to the page, and they put them all in one place for easy access. This is how I found out about the Felix Dennis competition that I wrote “For All Time” for.
When I say “highlight information,” I mean just that. They have the competitions ordered by deadline, with their name/title (unsurprisingly), followed by where they’ll accept entries from, the entry fee, if there is one, the maximum word count, and the top prize. Each block doubles as a link to more information about their corresponding contest, with more about the theme and requirements. That page has a link to the website that’s actually running the competition for entry.
