This year's competition proved to be very popular, making judging an enjoyable but challenging task. Best selling author Raynor Winn was the head judge, and after a reading committee had arrived at a shortlist, she chose the winner and the runner-up.
The winner was Lindsey Williams, whose story was about a school bursar and a mother who didn't want her child to go to school. Raynor thought this story stood out above all the others because of the quality of the writing.
The runner-up was Trish Onken.
We want to congratulate everyone who took part and especially the two winners. To read their short stories, go to https://www.foweyfestival.com/competitions-and-awards/short-story-competition-for-adults/, and click on the links.
