We can’t find a better competitions listing than that provided by The Poetry Kit. It covers short story and other creative writing competitions as well as poetry, so we suggest you bookmark it and visit frequently or – better still -sign up for their competitions newsletter (emailed on the first of every month).

There’s also the Kudos magazine and website - “for people who prize writing”. Editor Carole Baldock (who also edits the literary magazine Orbis) must be one of the world’s leading authorities on writing competitions. You can take advantage of her encyclopedic knowledge by subscribing to the magazine (£3.00 for a single issue, £18.00 for a year’s worth) or just root around on the website for nowt.
