You retain all rights to your story by entering this competition, but you do give your permission for your story, if shortlisted, to be published online.

 

Tip: In previous competitions, several well-written stories have missed out on prizes because the theme wasn’t treated strongly enough. Craft your story around the theme rather than the other way round.
