The September edition of Essentials magazine is out in stores now, and happily contains the announcement of their third annual short story competition.
This year's contest is titled The Essential Voice. As with the previous two, they're looking for romances of up to 1,500 words, entrants must be resident in South Africa (or any country where Essentials is sold) and the entries will be judged by an editor from Mills & Boon.
This year's prizes include:
First Prize - a luxury weekend away in the Drakensberg, publication in Essentials, a critique from an editor at Mills & Boon, Struik's Creative Writing course, a Samsung netbook computer, flowers, and a hamper.
Top 3 Stories - Struik's Creative Writing course, a Samsung netbook computer, flowers, and a hamper.
Top 5 Stories - Struik's Creative Writing course, flowers, and a hamper.
There are some amazing prizes up for grabs this year - buy a copy of the magazine or click here for details.
The Essentials website also promotes the international New Voices contest, which this contest is running in conjunction with. The deadline for The Essential Voice is 10th November 2011.
To enter, you can submit online at www.essentials.co.za, you can email your submission to essentials@caxton.co.za, or post via snail mail to 368 Jan Smuts Avenue, Craighall Park, 2196.
