Dear all,
I appreciate we are all on tender hooks reference the short story competition freedom that will be announced on the 27th of March on this site.
As I understand from the response admin left on recent Q and A's that there is not going to be any announcement to the winner or runners-up prior to the event on the evening.
I was just wondering if it would end up working like this.....
The winner of the short story competition freedom 2013 is ??(At home with his wife and children)
And the runner-up of the competition Is ?????? (Working a night shift)
I would love to attend the event and support the winner and runners up but I live in Leamington spa. How many of you will be going? I'm just quite grateful the loser does not get informed, saves me sitting about waiting.
Regards.
Damien
As I understand it, the people who will be involved on the night (ie, the runners up and the winner) will be notified prior to the event. So they will be able to make the decision to go.
No one on the shortlist will be contacted, either before or after, so we just have to accept that.
I think, though, that the important thing is that anyone whose work will be showcased on the night will be contacted before the event,
This is how I am reading it. Hope it helps.
I live in Stoke and therefore can't go on a whim so have not booked a ticket to the event. However, if I were to get a phone call I would make the effort. And hopefully they would let me in for free!!! :)
