Hi all, just a quick one. I've entered a few competitions over the years but they were mostly with my school which I have finished now. Does anyone know of any sites that will help me find writing competitions (other than Writers and Artists whose competition piece I am working on) I have uploaded a piece for another competition I found but being nearly finished with the Writers and Artists one as well I'm finding I have nothing to occupy me till uni :( Thank you :)

The Book Trust's website and the Scottish Book Trust both list a fair amount of competitions. Here are some links:
