The Bethune & Son 4th Annual Texas Short Story Contest
We’re looking for short fiction stories! Think you can write a winning story in 5000 words or less? Enter Bethune & Son’s fourth annual Texas Short Story Competition for your chance to win $1,000, $300 or $200 in cash, and get your story published! Please ensure you read the rules carefully before entering the competition.
Every entry must follow the theme of “Gulf Coast”, discuss or reference the theme of the Texas Gulf Coast in some way, shape or form, and must clearly add to the narrative of Texas life (i.e. stories about the Louisiana or Mexico gulf coast will not count). Your plot does not need to revolve around the theme, but should strongly incorporate it into your story in any way you best see fit (e.g. setting, character background, dialogue, etc.)
No entry fee. Deadline October 2, 2020.
