Works must not have been previously published in another outlet.

Works must be written in English or translated into English, provided that the source text is the entrant’s own original work and has not been published.

The winner will receive GBP2,000 (US$3,083). The entry fee is GBP10 (US$15).

The application deadline is Nov. 30.
