The Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award is now inviting entries; see also the Sunday Times call, Calling all short-story writers.
Yes, it is restricted to English-written stuff, but otherwise it's pretty open -- and with an impressive £30,000 prize, and a stellar judging panel (Joanna Trollope, Andrew O'Hagan, Lionel Shriver, Sarah Waters, and Andrew Holgate (and the I-hope-he-knows-his-place EFG Private Bank chairman, Matthew Evans)) should make for a pretty top-flight prize. Plus, the first time they awarded this it went to C.K.Stead, so they obviously didn't go wrong there.
So if you have an eligible story -- enter !
