From our juror of this year’s competition, Ingrid Jendrzejewski: “First of all, huge congratulations go out to everyone who submitted a story to this year’s Cambridge Writers’ Short Story Competition. The overall quality was exceedingly high \u2013 much higher, on average, than most other competitions I’ve judged. I found something to admire in every single story submitted, and I found it incredibly difficult to pare down my longlist to only three prize-winners and three commended stories. I suspect this is partly down to the wonderful community that Cambridge Writers fosters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I also applaud the inventiveness and creativity of all the writers who tackled this year’s theme, ‘Revenge’. Revenge is a such difficult theme…difficult because it’s so easy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
