ABC Writers Network offer a free listing of current writing competitions containing details and contact information.We update our listings on a regular basis – just look for the big blue witting competition image. While we make every effort to insure that only legitimate contest are published we would ask our readers to contact us if they have any concerns about individual contests.
We extend an invitation to writers groups and other organizations hosting contests to get in contact with us with details of their contest and we’ll happily publish.
Today (Monday 22 Dec. 2010) I was updating the database and was amazed at the number of competitions out there which, in my opinion, were a come-on. Many of those contests were charging an entry fee of £4.00 while offering a 1st prize of £100. In one instance I came across one with an entry fee of £4.00 and a prize of
£50 and that was it! We will not promote these contests here. But if you are running an upfront competition then we will quite happily publish details here for you – and at no cost to you. All we ask for is a brief out line of the contests: 1.Contest Name. 2.Closing Date, 3 Brief Details, 4 Fee, 5 Prize, 6. Contact Details – Preferably A Web Address or E-mail. We do of course reserve the right not to publish.
