Our glittering awards evening will take place on March 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s short story competition was on the theme of ‘Darkness’, though stories can be written in any genre the writer wishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are cash prizes to be won but the contest is only open to paid up members of Cambridge Writers, so if you want to enter, join up<\/a> quick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closing date is January 3rd 2024, so if you’re reading this after that date, you’re too late to enter this year I’m afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s contest was kindly judged for us by Chris Priestley. Chris is a local author writing creepy and weird tales rather than horror. He finds inspiration from authors Edgar Allan Poe and Mary Shelley. He is also an artist and illustrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
