Competition Alert

Hey guys!

Just thought I’d let you know about the 2012 NZSA (New Zealand Society of Authors) Asian Short Story Competition:

“After an auspicious beginning in 2011 the NZSA Asian Short Story Competition is once again open for entries.

Entry is open to New Zealand permanent residents who are Asian or of Asian ethnicity. Short stories will be in English, and the theme is open. Stories will ideally contain some Asian content, though not necessarily be set in Asia.

The minimum length of entries is 2,500 words, and the maximum length of entries is 3,500 words.
There is a total of $4,500 in cash prizes. First prize: $3,000. Second: $1,000. Third: $500.

The competition deadline is 30 August 2012.  Terms & conditions and application forms are downloadable here or email office@nzauthors.org.nz”

Definitely enter this if you’re keen, it’s such an awesome opportunity to get your self out there and propel your writing career.
