Short stories on the theme of ‘someone who stands up for what they believe in’ are invited for the Kosta’s Olive Tree writing competition.
The short story competition is being run by Vasiliki Scurfield to raise funds for charities in memory of her son Kosta, a former Royal Marine who died fighting alongside Kurdish forces opposing ISIS/Daesh in Syria.
There is a first prize of £70 and two runners up prizes of £30. Enter original, unpublished short stories between 1,200 and 1,500 words interpreting the theme. Include your story in the body of the submission email along with your PayPal reference number and contact details. The entry fee is £4 per story.
