Taken from Keele University's magazine:
Budding authors who took part in a new short story competition organised by Keele were presented with their prizes this week. Prizes were up for grabs for short stories of up to 2,500 words and micro-stories of up to 250 words, as well as a school prize and a student prize. The competition was open to anyone living in Staffordshire, Cheshire or Shropshire and there were more than 300 entries.
The student prize went to by Christopher Prendergast, of Keele, for his story 'Sunset'; the winner of the overall first prize of £300 was Melissa Darlington, from Crewe, for her story 'Far from Us' and the schools' prize (young writers) went to Hannah Stubbs, of Stafford. The micro story winner was Rebecca Smith from Keele. The prizes were presented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Rama Thirunamachandran, who praised the high standard of entries.
