The Elmbridge Literary Competition 2023/24

 

FAME

Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving.

William Shakespeare

 

For some, it is a lifetime’s pursuit, often slipping through their grasp while others see it fall into their hands by mere chance. However achieved, through talent or luck, Fame, can be an ill-fated prize. The 19th Elmbridge Literary Competition, run in partnership by The R C Sherriff Trust and Elmbridge Borough Council, is looking for short stories and poems on the theme of the double-edged sword that is ‘FAME’.

 

The Competition will once again run in partnership with publishers Sampson Low, who will publish the winning entries as a Chapbook.

​

Entry for adults is £5

Entry for under 18s free.

 

The closing date for entries is Friday 23 February 2024.
