First prize is £1,000, 2nd prize £500, 3rd prize £300, 4th prize £200 and the best 20 stories will be published in an anthology.

The goldenrod in the vase made me sneeze so violently that I blew the black queen right off the board, along with my last ten-pound note.
So I have nothing with which to enter any competition, but merely am groping under the chair for that fugitive queen.
Meanwhile, thanks for the invitation.
