Welcome to our comprehensive list of writing contests and competitions. The list includes short story, poetry, and flash fiction events, as well as some competitions for essays, screenwriting, and even entire manuscripts. Each item on our list includes basic information about max word count, entry fees, submission deadlines, and the first place prize.
We are keen to encourage quality submissions, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
Please do your own research before deciding to enter any event. In case of questions about a particular event, please reach out to the event organizer.
