We will be getting together on March 3rd to find out the results of this year’s short story competition in a glittering awards ceremony (just don’t expect too much glitter!).
This year’s short story competition was on the theme of ‘Loss’. All entries must involve the theme to a recognisable degree but can be written in any genre, and there are cash prizes on offer for the top three stories.
The contest has been kindly judged for us by Josephine Baker. Josephine will be attending to reveal her winners, talk about the process of judging, and offer feedback on the entrants.
We will also be treated to a reading, by the respective authors, of the three prize-winning stories and those receiving highly commended.
We urge all members to come along and enjoy an evening of sparkling fiction, whether you entered the contest or not.
The closing date is January 3rd 2026, so if you’re reading this after that date, you’re too late to enter this year I’m afraid.
Members of Cambridge Writers may attend this event for FREE as part of your membership.
Our events start at 7.30pm and are held at:
Hartington Grove Meeting House
91-93 Hartington Grove
Cambridge
CB1 7UB
Non-members are welcome to attend, at a charge of £3. Please contact our chairman Harry Goode if you would like to come along.
If you can’t make it in person, you can attend via Zoom. Non-members are also welcome via Zoom – you can try out a few of our events to see if we’re for you before we’ll ask you to join. Please contact our membership secretary, Harry Goode, if you would like to be emailed the Zoom link.
Alternatively, you can always join Cambridge Writers!
It only costs £20 for an entire year of fantastic writer events, as well as supportive monthly Writing Group meetings to help you progress your work, be that prose or poetry, long form or short, fiction or non-fiction.
Hope to see lots of you there!
