Short Story Competition for those living in France.

[Joanna]

Since there isn't a section devoted to writers I thought I'd put this here as readers often write too (I have known some so-called writers who don't read but lets not go into that!).

The International Club of Bordeaux has just launched its first short story competition which is open to all adults with an address in France (permanent or temporary) and all students under 18 at collége or lycée in the Gironde.  There's a small entry fee for adults, it's free for the juniors.

The closing date is December 15 and our judge is Amanda Hodgkinson, a best-selling author living in the Gers.  If you haven't come across her books before, given them a go, they're beautifully written and very readable indeed.
