July 2022 – shortlist and winners

With the Summer break well and truly over now, it’s full steam ahead again here at CAHQ.

A couple of weeks ago we announced that we’re collaborating with Manchester-based writer Dr Tania Hershman, as she puts together a print anthology of flash to raise money for fuel poverty organisations. You can read all about that here.

Next, all of our competitions are now running our ‘4 for the price of 3’ special offer. That means if you pay the £10 entry fee, you can enter 4 stories instead of the usual 3 – esentially, getting one free entry! Read all about that – and enter your stories – here.

And of course, our latest print anthology is still available to order. It’s a limited print run, and many copies have already been sold, so don’t miss out if you want to secure yourself a copy.

But now, on to our latest batch of winners; these from the July 22 short story competition. Congratulations to the following three winning entries:

1st: Gwenda Major – The Mill Stream’s Story

2nd: Matt Biggs – She Came Home

3rd: Tracey-Anne Plater – Changing Faces

Prize money is on its way to you, and your stories are published here on our website.

And well done to the following writers who made it to the shortlist:
