The short story competition starts today. The theme of your story need not reference Wales in any way. You may submit your entry in either Welsh or English. The two language categories will be judged separately and there will be a prize for each. Basically you will need to write a short story between 1000 and 3000 words in length and submit it in accordance with the rules for site members or non-site members outlined below. Accompanying graphics are not permitted. There is a US150 dollars (approximately 100GBP ) prize for the winners in both categories. The final submission date is Sept 15th 2010 and the winners will be announced at the Eisteddfod ( October 2010 ). We are immensely proud and pleased to announce that author Lloyd Jones will judge the entries in the Left Coast Eisteddfod Short Story competition. Lloyd is the author of two novels, 'Mr Vogel' and 'Mr Cassini' and a collection of short stories - 'My First Colouring Book'. Runners-up prizes will be announced later. You may submit up to four entries.
The winner and his/her work will also be featured on this site on what we hope will be a heavily trafficked page.
