Norwich Writers announce Olga Sinclair Short Story competition 2026: The theme is Walls.
The Brief: The judges (Judges Helen Murray and Dave Cryer) are looking for wise choices of vocabulary, well-structured plotting and description, sparkling dialogue, pace and precision. Although the theme is always selected to represent Norwich you are free to interpret this however you see fit. Your story does not have to be connected to Norwich, but it does need to have the concept of Walls as its central theme.
