Read Urban Shots? Could relate to it? Good! You could be featured in the next edition of Urban Shots in 2011
Is there a theme for the short stories?
The stories should be set in an URBAN backdrop within India. The plot, characters and the setting needs to be contemporary, relatable and above all FRESH!
Can anyone submit?
This is open for Indian nationals only, whether resident in India or outside. Persons of Indian origin can also submit stories. The contest is open to everyone, except employees, owners and the immediate families of employees or the owners of entities who are competition partners – Landmark, Grey Oak Publishers, Helter Skelter, The Tossed Salad, d.ustb.in and Bookchums.
