This is just a short post to say…
Wow, we got there for the second year in a row, and we couldn’t have done it without all the wonderful writers who sent us their work!
All the submissions are in, and it was one wild rush at the end. We’ve already started the reading process, and from today, we’ll double-down on our efforts.
Ideally, we’d like to get the longlist out by the end of July or shortly thereafter. If it takes a bit longer than that, we beg your patience. We won’t be rushed because we understand how much work went into every story, and we want to honour your efforts by carefully considering every submission we’ve received.
As we near the end of the reading process, I’ll send out a post detailing the announcement schedule to keep you all in the loop, so make sure you’re subscribed to us here, and that you follow us on socials.
Well done to everyone who submitted, and the very best of luck to you in the competition!
Appreciate the update!
