The 2026 Mysterious Murders Short Story competition is now open for entries! The Mysterious Murders Short Story Competition was created to honour Anja Boersma’s deep love of writing and to help nurture that same passion in others. I was lucky enough to be a judge on last year’s competition, and the standard was so high that I didn’t hesitate to return when organiser Angela Nurse asked me.
The theme this year is “Locked Room Murder Mystery”, the prizes are cash prizes, it’s free to enter and you’ve got till the end of September to submit. What are you waiting for? Click on the image below for more details…
