2021 CWA Margery Allingham Short Story Competition
Deadline: Fri 26 Feb 2021
Submit an unpublished short mystery up to 3500 words for a chance to win £500, a selection of Margery Allingham books, and two passes for the international crime writing convention CrimeFest in 2022. Open to published and unpublished writers worldwide.

Our mission is to find the best unpublished short mystery – one that fits into legendary crime writer Margery’s definition of what makes a great story:

“The Mystery remains box-shaped, at once a prison and a refuge. Its four walls are, roughly, a Crime, a Mystery, an Enquiry and a Conclusion with an Element of Satisfaction in it.”

Entry fee: £12

Deadline: 6pm GMT, Friday 26 February 2021
