The theme of this competition is ‘The Censor’. You can interpret this in any way you wish – it could represent censoring of the past, present, and future; the self; the state; or the effects of censorship on everyday life. As a provocation, they hope the theme can provide a rich vein of storytelling inspiration for anyone wishing to take part in the competition. They are looking for inclusive, surprising, ingenious and diverse responses that capture their minds and hold us until every word is devoured.
