Yes, Singapore IS a commonwealth country. Anywho, details are up, look, look!
The Commonwealth Short Story Competition exists to increase
understanding between and appreciation of different Commonwealth
cultures – to showcase the rich diversity of the Commonwealth and to
support rising literary talents.
The Competition is an annual scheme to promote new creative writing.
Established in 1996, it is funded by the Commonwealth Foundation and
the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, who work together to
administer the scheme.
Each year, 26 winning and highly commended stories from the different
regions of the Commonwealth are recorded onto CDs and broadcast on
radio stations across the Commonwealth. The winner receives a prize of
£2,000 and there are regional prizes of £500.
