Thanks to everyone who entered our Autumn 2020 competition. We received 587 entries from 32 different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below we\u2019ve compiled a long-list of fifty stories. Congratulations to everyone who made the long-list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your story is on the long-list and you ticked the permission box (you can check your confirmation email or\u00a0get in touch with us if you can\u2019t remember), your story will be published on the website between 23 November* and 31 December. If you didn\u2019t tick the box, your story will only be published if you\u2019ve won a prize. Feel free to send us a message\u00a0and we\u2019ll let you know if your story is going to be published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we start publishing the long-listed stories, we\u2019ll publish some of our favourites that didn\u2019t quite make the long-list. We\u2019ll be emailing the authors of these stories in the next few days to let them know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
