Could you use $6,000? A national readership? Fame and glory beyond your wildest imagination? Okay, as long as the first two do it for you, then you should click here to learn more about the 2017 CBC Short Story Prize.
Deadline is October 31, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Stories (including titles) must be between 1,200 and 1,800 words. You don’t even have to live in Canada. All you do need is one of them awesome blue passports proving you’re a Canuck through and through.
Go for gold, all you short storyists (my word, not theirs)!

I thought the non-fiction short story contest was still taking stories until January 2017? I wanted to submit my short story non-fiction and had been working on it and was finally done and I come on here and its closed?? I’ve never tried to submit my stories, thought I’d try it here……alas it was about the Indian Residential School afterwards, when I was finally released.
