Chinese language writers sought

Entries are sought for a short form writing contest aimed at Chinese language learners, for an opportunity to have work published internationally.

Increasing the range and quantity of easy-to-read Chinese short stories is the impetus behind the competition, which last year attracted 82 entries. The winning submissions were published in a short story collection book.

Entrants are invited to write a piece using 320 characters only, with winners being selected through public votes on Twitter. The competition again this year presents a chance to have work published internationally.
