Allen Raine Short Story Competition 10 September 2010 The Allen Raine Short Story competition is now in its third year since its launch by the Allen Raine Celebration Society in 2008. The annual competition is open to all and stories can be in English or Welsh, original and unpublished. They can be about any subject and in any genre but they must be set in Wales.
There is a first prize of £100 for the winner in each language and second place writers will receive the Ceredigion Coast Set collection. Prizes are courtesy of sponsor Parthian Books.
The Allen Raine Celebration Society was founded to commemorate the life and work of the Newcastle Emlyn born author who was born Anne Adaliza Evans in 1836. Her novels were international best-sellers in the years before her death in 1910. A plaque in her memory was unveiled at Bank House in Newcastle Emlyn in May this year and Raine's grave in St. Michael's churchyard, Penbryn, has been restored by the society.
The winners will be announced at the Allen Raine Celebration Evening in Newcastle Emlyn on Friday 8 October. Full details of how to enter can be found on the society's website.
Honno has published the Allen Raine novel 'Queen of the Rushes' as part of our Honno Classics series.
Closing Date: Friday 10 September 2010
