International writing contests

I write mainly in Norwegian and, therefore, generally keep updated on the writing contests that are held in Norway.

However, for those who write in English there are many exciting international writing contests that can be entered (although most of them charge an entry fee).

Here are links to some of them:

• Writer's Digest Contests
• Bridport Prize
• The international 3-day novel contest
• Vancouver International Writers Festival
• Writers Block International Writing Competition
