Josephine Ulrick short story competition

Now I have finally polished my entry into the BIG 20K competition. Everything is in place, all the t(s) crossed and I(s) dotted.
Here is the link to the entry form if you fancy your chances.

The Josephine Ulrick competition.

This is a biggie. Fingers Crossed. And I'm hoping it is more than luck!

The competition has a 10,000 dollar first prize. It is worth the effort to enter for the money and I have slaved over my entry.

The entry fee is a bit steep but it makes you work even harder to get it right.

Hopefully the judges are as astute as the accountants and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Closing date is the 30th January.
