I have been going up and down to submit my short story competition - ending in 2019 - but no luck. I would be grateful if you could email where and how to do it.

Thankyou,

Rani Drew

I've emailed [email protected] several times enquiring about an activation email that was supposed to have been sent to me, so that I could submit my entry to the Short Story Competition. I have yet to receive any response from them.

Should I not bother, as they don't seem particularly interested?

Hi Liz,

Sorry to hear that you had trouble entering our children's fiction competition. The entries for this competition was actually not administered by us, but rather Kickback Media who were partnering with us on the competition and we were not aware of any email issues.

Please do email [email protected] in the future if you have any queries or troubles, and we'll aim to flag this with any other future competition partners as soon as possible.

For the short story competition currently running, [email protected] is indeed the correct email address, but please do get in touch if you have any issues.

All best,

W&A Admin

I had a terrible time submitting my entry for the children's fiction comp. Emailed my entry before the deadline. The next day, after the deadline had closed, it winged it's way back to me saying the address was not recognised! I sent an email to another address on the same website with the same result - not a valid address! Gutted, I was, having spent a long time writing my submission.

I hope you have better luck than I did Rani!
