Short Story Contests Worth Your Time — Prizes, Fees, Deadlines
W riting contests are great ways to build your portfolio, and hone your writing skills. For emerging writers especially, the price to pay is usually quite small, while the rewards range from getting published to receiving thousands. Not a bad trade-off. The only reasonable downside is all the extra work…for well…all the extra rejection. Ah, I’m only slightly kidding. Rejection is part of the journey. It’s the bumpy road that takes you from nobody to somebody. So even if you don’t win first prize, entering into contests can help you get better. This article looks at some of the best short story contests out there right now.
Benefits of Short Story Contests
Why submit to writing contests.
Whether you’re an up and coming writer or published author, writing contests provide great practice for honing your craft.
They allow you to churn out material quickly to make each deadline. Pumping out work nearly on-demand to meet these deadlines strengthens your writing muscles and your ability to face the blank page.
Deadlines are helpful too. For any level writer. These contests help develop the habit of actually finishing something, and often. It’s also great practice for sticking to your own deadlines.
Not to mention, another huge benefit of submitting to writing contests....getting comfortable with getting your work out there. Gone are the days of obsessing over every single word. Well, no, you’ll still probably do that, but at least now you’re not using stupid excuses to hide from rejection.
For aspiring writers, this consistency helps find your voice. Some competitions even provide feedback on your writing which is priceless if you want to become a better writer.
While there are a variety of writing competitions, short story contests are great ways to develop your skills as a writer. The focus is on writing compelling narratives in a more condensed time frame ( not an easy thing to do) and if you can pull that off well, over and over again, you’re well on your way to becoming a writer people will want to read.
And while these short story contests are great practice, most often one contest will allow multiple mediums to write in — like poetry, non-fiction, etc. The contests below all include short story categories but may also include those other mediums.
Note: these deadlines and details sometimes change. Be sure to check the accompanied websites for the latest terms.

Does Bears Defense Take the Trash-Talking Too Far?Gene chamberlain | jun 7, 2024. 
Not exactly the most outspoken or abrasive coach in the NFL, Bears coach Matt Eberflus nonetheless sees the value in having a trash-talking defense. Every day at minicamp and OTA practices the offense must put up with a barrage of big talk and defensive celebrations from the Bears defense. It only promises to get louder by training camp. "It's been great," Eberflus said. "I tell the players all the time—words are awesome. I love words and I like goals and I do believe in that." Ah, but the catch. There's always a catch. "But it comes down to what we do on the grass, right?" Eberflus said. "It's gotta be shown out there. I believe in saying it and being confident and all those things, but it’s in the doin.' It's not in the talkin' about it. It's important that we understand that so that when we start to perform with our pads on, guess what? We have to be who we say we’re gonna be." This goes without saying, but the big talk can be an asset when combined with good play. The Seattle Seahawks Legion of Boom, with Richard Sherman, could talk anyone off of their game before lowering the boom. The New Orleans Saints and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson had Bears receivers totally defeated mentally during two games in 2020, including a playoff battle. The Bears were bothered to the degree that both Javon Wims and Anthony Miller got ejected for getting physical and retaliating. Meanwhile, the real instigator with his words remained on the field. Which is better? @ChicagoBears WRs or DBs @StaceyDales weighs in w/ @WaddleandSilvy & @TWaddle87 pic.twitter.com/MhS2I88bX1 — ESPN 1000 (@ESPN1000) June 7, 2024 "It's intimidating for other people," slot cornerback Kyler Gordon said. "Penople constantly getting hit, constantly running to the ball, all 11 hats. Loud. Communicating loud. I just feel like, 'what are they doing?' So I love it." INJURY ISSUES AND OTHER CONCERNS THAT BEAR WATCHING OVER SUMMER BEARS FIND THAT CALEB WILLIAMS IS DIFFERENT THAN ADVERTISED ARE THE BEARS GETTING CAUGHT WITH THEIR GUARD DOWN? THE NINE DATES GENERAL PUBLIC CAN COME TO WATCH BEARS PRACTICE It becomes a case of probing for weakness, according to cornerback Jaylon Johnson. There's plenty of evidence over the years of things like this working to a player's advantage. Former Vikings defensive tackle John Randle made it into the Hall of Fame and complemented his play with trash talk. He would completely psyche out opponents by picking up little things from media guides, like the name of the wife of a player he was lining up against. Randle would try getting under players' skin from the outset by telling them things. If the #Bears want competition for the last WR spot, I’d love for them to bring in Hakeem Butler as a FA. Just got named the UFL Offensive Player of the Year. Dominated for the Battlehawks — he’s a big, physical WR who could backup Rome Odunze as the ‘X’. pic.twitter.com/FpG8vXcIqB — Jacob Infante (@jacobinfante24) June 7, 2024 Some Bears players used to actually enjoy hearing what Randle would come up with and called it wildly entertaining. "I mean, I feel like it's one thing to make plays but I feel like, like you said, being loud, when you're talking after every play that you really start to see if somebody is going to stand up or if they're going to fold," Johnson said. "And I feel like of course with execution I feel like comes energy. So I feel like for us to have that energy, we've got to execute. "I feel like with the combination of both, you can definitely make teams fold. I feel like we showed some flashes of that last year where we were dominating, we were able to talk and we kind of seen how people started responding back. And then I feel like for us just being able to keep that foot on the gas and just really finish people off." The Bears secondary actually started doing this last offseason and training camp in their daily battles with the Bears receivers. They especially got under the skin of Chase Claypool, and there was more than one confrontation. It's a practice not totally isolated to the back five. Edge rushers Montez Sweat and DeMarcus Walker will talk, as well. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson got another Bears WR Anthony Miller ejected from the game Last time they played Javon Wims got tossed pic.twitter.com/IX1Z8O7Itv — B/R Gridiron (@brgridiron) January 10, 2021 "I mean Tez and D-Walk for sure are big into that," linebacker T.J. Edwards said. "Brisk (Jaquan Brisker) will get going a little bit. Me and Maine just fill in when we need to, but it's hard to get a word in sometimes with those two (Walker and Sweat) up there. But we're just having fun, excited to be around each other and we just love to play the game." The linebackers might not get involved at this as much, particularly T.J. Edwards. "For me I'm: 'whatever,' " Edwards said. "I don't really have enough energy for that to be honest with you. I'm too tired getting ready for the next play. "But I think that's football. That's why you love the game to be honest with you. That kind of competitive edge and just seeing what happens out there and I think everyone does it in the league. I think you guys are just seeing it a little bit more of it as of right now."
