Orbis seeks number-specific entries for their latest creative writing competition
© Jean Carneiro
Orbis is is a long-standing quarterly international literary journal, based in the UK, and edited by Carole Baldock. To celebrate 40 years of Orbis, and with the next issue being the big 150th issue, plus Carole Baldock’s 30th issue as editor, Orbis are seeking submissions of poems, short shorts and intros to short stories with a very specific remit.
If you take 40 plus 150 minus 30, and add one for luck you get 161, so all you have to do is email one entry, with ‘Orbis’ as subject, to baldock.carole@googlemail.com by February 12th 2010.
Poems may be up to 30 lines long, and Carole says they “may rhyme - though maybe try something a bit more adventurous than couplets, sonnets or villanelles?”
Alternatively send a 50-word short, short story or an intro to a short story.
The key point is that your entry must incorporates the number 161 and the word peacock.
The overall winner will receive a year’s subscription to either Orbis or sister publication Kudos, plus the prestige of being published at www.kudoswritingcompetitions.com.
The winner in each category will receive a complimentary copy of the current issue of Kudos, plus one free copy. Runners-up will receive one free copy of Kudos.
There is no entry fee.
