Short Story Competition
WE have pleasure in announcing a somewhat difficult competition for those of our readers who have a literary turn of mind. The Editor offers a prize of twenty guineas for trie best short story describing some incident in his own or a friend's life, or some incident that has occurred to an imaginary person. The length of the story should be between 3,400 and 2,800 words. Action is desirable and originality essential ; we are interested in any story which is good reading. We reserve the right to publish stories which do not win the prize at a fee of five guineas. Contributions must be typed, with the author's name and address at the top right-hand corner and marked "Competition." They will only be returned if a stamped addressed envelope is provided. The Competition closes on Friday, December 30th.
The General Knowledge Competition is on page 1136.
