I looked all over the internet to find writing competitions and contests that I could enter and bless with my winning entries, but no-one had them listed in a user-friendly way…So I decided to curate my own!<\/p>\n
Below are the open competitions and contests for the rest of the year 2017 with links to the organisers. You can filter the table by entry date, competition prize, max words and my favourite…the entry fee.<\/p>\n
Please don’t enter any of these writing competitions.<\/p>\n
It will make it harder for me to win.<\/p>\n
