WriteTime competitions are only open to older writers.
Everyone is welcome, wherever in the world you live. If you want to join in, you need to be over 60 years old. There’s no upper age limit.
Share your stories with us – entering a competition is a great way to keep up your writing. WriteTime runs four short story competitions each year and the next closing date is December 31, 2025. The small submission fee covers prizes and basic administration costs. Judging is by a panel of older experienced writers and editors. Winners will be notified within six weeks of the closing date.
WriteTime is a social enterprise dedicated to older writers and we offer brief feedback free of charge to all writers whose work is not successful in a competition.
