ChristopherFielden: Win £1,000

Simply submit your original short story at ChristopherFielden to get a chance to win £1,000!

The competition is open to authors residing anywhere in the world.
All stories must be written in English.
Stories entered into the competition can be previously published. This also means you can submit your work elsewhere at the same time as entering it into this competition. If your story is accepted elsewhere, it will still be eligible for this competition and will not be disqualified.
There is no need to use UK English spellings. If you’re American, for example, just use US spellings. I may edit stories into UK spellings if they’re selected for publication in the anthology for the sake of consistency.
Stories must be no longer than 4,000 (four-thousand) words in length. This includes the title. To make this crystal clear, if your entry contains 4,001 (four-thousand and one) words or more, it will be disqualified.
There is no minimum word count.
This is an open competition and there is no set theme, but stories must contain some element of humour – see ‘the types of story I’m looking for’ below for further clarity.
Formatting:

Use a clear font that’s easy to read, like Times New Roman or Arial. No fancy fonts or font colours please!
Send your work in .doc, .docx or .rtf format – I use Microsoft Word to open all entries. If you can’t supply your entry in one of the named formats, please contact me – we can usually find a way around it.
Please name your document ‘your name-story name’ – so ‘Christopher Fielden-My Amazing Story’ for example.

There is a £7 (seven pounds GBP) entry fee for 1 (one) entry, a £12 (twelve pounds GBP) entry fee for 2 (two) entries and a £15 (fifteen pounds GBP) entry fee for 3 (three) entries. Please pay BEFORE sending your entry.
Entries are to be sent by email to: chris@christopherfielden.com
Please format your email subject line as follows: ‘Competition Entry – Your Name’. So, using my name as an example: ‘Competition Entry – Chris Fielden’.
Please include your name, address (including country), telephone number, the transaction ID of your PayPal payment entry fee and a brief biography (up to 200 (two-hundred) words max) in the body of the email. Also attach a picture of yourself so I can use it with your bio on this website should you be shortlisted or win the competition.
Each author can enter the competition up to 3 (three) times maximum. Each author can only win 1 (one) cash prize. More than 1 (one) story by an author could be shortlisted and published in the anthology.
Once an entry is received, no refunds of the entry fee will be given under any circumstances.
Entries are only accepted from writers or their agents. If you are an agent, please say so in your email.
Submission of an entry is taken as acceptance of all the Terms and Conditions.

Contest starts: 11.59pm GMT (Greenwich meantime, the time in London, UK) on 31st July 2016*
