This database lists writing contests and grants, with filters for genre, region, cash prizes, and the closing year. Each entry links directly to the organiser’s page. Deadlines are hand-curated and verified by automated link checks.
Use the filters to find contests open worldwide or in your region, contests that offer a cash prize, free-entry opportunities, or contests closing in 2026 or 2027. The database covers poetry, short story, flash fiction, novel, essay, memoir, and speculative fiction.
