June 2026 Competition

To enter, and for full competition rules, see: How to Enter

Brief:  ‘ For this challenge, research is not background—it is the engine of your story. Show us characters who are gathering data, asking dangerous questions, delving into memories, or uncovering hidden worlds. You may write in any genre, but the piece must highlight how research propels action, creates tension, or leads to transformation. Keep the narrative tight, the stakes sharp.’

(max 300 words, 10% plus or minus)

Deadline May 25th 11:59pm

Adjudicator: Louise Morrish
