This applies to a huge chunk of you out there in the Commonwealth, so Aussies, Caribbean/West Indian & South American reps, Canadians, African, European, Oceanic and Asian nations of the Commonwealth--get in here! :D

Have any of you ever entered the Commonwealth Writers competitions (Book Prize, Short Story Prize)?

I'm interested in hearing about your experiences as an entrant, short-lister or even, winner.

They're closed right now, deciding the 2013 winners, but will re-open in the fall sometime I imagine (opened to entries last October, closed in December)--any hopefuls among us? :)

For those who haven't entered, would you? If not, why not?

Thanks for the link. It looks interesting. I want to enter at least one short story competition this year, mainly as a challenge to myself. I'm also interested to see how I'll do.

I've bookmarked the page and will take another look later in the year.
