2026 Spring Short Competition Update
Due to an avalanche of entries in the last few days of the competition and an unprecedented amount of reading, we are running behind. Being inundated by prose poetry is a brilliant issue to face, however we are sorry for the delay and any inconvenience caused.
We aim to have final results published by the end of the month and will begin contacting authors about the longlist status as soon as we can.
Please note that our messages sent via Duosuma sometimes end up in spam. You can check on your submission status at any time by logging into Duosuma.
