There are fewer and fewer opportunities for short stories to be published in magazines. One market that still accepts them is Ireland's Own, and they also run an annual writing competition which is currently open.
There is €2200 total prizemoney up for grabs and winning and some highly commended stories will be published in a Winning Writers Annual in May 2010.

Hello again, apologises for no blogs recently but I've had some personal things to deal with. Anyway here's a great short story competition from the Writers' and Artists' 2010 Yearbook for writers both published and unpublished.
Your story must be up to 2,000 words long and be about the theme of 'Unity or Union' it must also be aimed at adults. The winner will receive £500 in cash and a place on the Arvon Foundation residential writing course.
