The deadline for the Mahurangi Matters Short Story competition has been extended to November 30.
Now is the time to get that story idea down on paper or dust off that unpublished manuscript in your bottom drawer. Polish it up, and get it submitted.
All genres of fiction are encouraged – suspense, crime, romance, thriller, science fiction, fantasy or slice-of-life.
There are two sections in the competition – a general section and a teen section for entrants aged from 13 to 19.
The maximum length of stories in each section is 1400 words.
The winner of the general section will take home $300, with the teen winner picking up $150.
The runner-up in each section will receive a book voucher. Full competition rules and a competition entry form are available online at localmatters.co.nz or from the Mahurangi Matters office, 17 Neville Street, Warkworth.
