The Scottish Arts Club Short Story Competition is inviting entries for its 2017 award.
The competition, which is judged by Alexander McCall Smith, is open to all writers worldwide. Stories do not have to be set in Scotland or have a Scottish theme. For the first time, The Scottish Arts Club is running an additional prize for unpublished Scottish writers, The Isabel Lodge Award for New Scottish Writing, for all entrants to the competition who qualify (writers must have been born in, or be resident in, Scotland, or be studying in Scotland during the year of the competition) and must not have traditionally published a full-length novel).
