Can someone tell me if this comp should be entered anonymously? I can't find anything in the rules but I'm sure last time I entered, in 2013, the document was not have any name on it and all relevant information, email etc., should only be in the body of the email... Can anyone help me with this please? Thanks.
Good luck to those that enter the short story competition.
I have received a reply to the email I sent yesterday to the W&A team. Entries should be anonymous. If you enter your story as an attachment there should be no reference on the document as to the writer's name. Your name should only be in the body of the email.
Glad that's cleared up...
Yes Dan, I understand that and obviously your story is sent with your email so they know who sent it. But I think in many competitions, the judge is given the manuscripts without any author identification. I'm sure this is because they might know the writer personally or the writer could be published and well known (ish) - both of which would make it unfair. Almost all competitions I've entered are judged anonymously. So I think I'm going to go with that. But thanks for your input.
