Applications call for Sydney Hammond Short Story Writing Competition 2020. The competition is looking for jolly good tales. The positive. The growth. The light-hearted. The heart-warming. The gut-wrenchingly beautiful. Sadness can feature, but it is looking for evolution in the mix.

Theme

The theme of If only…is expansive, allowing for imaginations to run wild. If candidates unsure where to start, here are some prompts to start. Candidates may write off, for example, about life choices made by an individual, a group, or a government. It can be a fictional tale or a true story. The character might reflect on how choices made by others affected their own life, or how they are gripped with indecision as they face a life-altering situation and how they will reflect on their decision in the future. Think Sliding Doors. The possibilities are endless. These are just a few suggestions and the competition looks forward to reading the stories and seeing where the mind takes.
