Short Story Competition 2023

​

​

​

Are you a writer, or have you ever thought of writing a story? Our free short story competition is a great opportunity for writers and aspiring writers everywhere.

 

We are looking for stories of between 1000 and 2000 words.

The theme of the story is:

 

Inheritance

 

This year's theme was inspired by the 25 year anniversary of our venue Patriko.

Patriko is a greek word, meaning of or related to your father or your ancestors. You could say that your 'Patriko' is your ancestral home.

You are free to interpret the theme in any way you choose.

​

We are very pleased to announce that this year's judge is Deborah Swift
