2010 New Mardi Gras Short Story Competition

After a fantastic response in 2009, the New Mardi Gras Short Story Competition is back!


The theme for 2010 is ‘Making History'.

Writers can interpret this any way they wish, however the story must feature New Mardi Gras values.  Entrants need not identify as GLBTQ, but the story must be GLBTQ themed.  We have some truly amazing prizes this year so pick up your pen and get writing - we look forward to being entertained, amused, startled, inspired, gripped and seduced!

Word Limit: 750 words

Closing Date: Entries close at 5pm, 4 January 2010
