Each author can make no more than two submissions to the competition. The author's name should not appear on the header or footer of the submission document, as our entrants are judged anonymously. Each story must be accompanied by a separate cover sheet with the author's name, complete postal address, e-mail address, twitter handle/ Facebook page link (to verify you easily), phone number, a scanned copy of a valid id (student id card, driving license, passport - to verify your age), the title of the piece, number of submissions being made, and the word count.
The author holds the copyright, but with the understanding that Grey Oak Publishers has the first right to publish the stories, and would be given an exclusivity on these stories for a period of 2 years. A royalty agreement will be sent to the authors of the short listed stories post the announcement of the shortlist, and the Editorial Department of Grey Oak Publishers will stay in touch to get an agreement on this. Any further discussion on this subject at this stage is immaterial.
Longlist of stories for final evaluation by 15th October 2012 and Shortlist of stories that would be published in the planned edition of Urban Shots Yuva in January 2013 will be communicated by 15th November 2012.
