Checked my e-mails today and received an e-mail from A&C Black Publishers. No unfortunately I'm not one of the fianalists, but congratulations to the 12 short-listed entries.

Hi Jo
Of course, do feel free to use your story however you like. Posting them for feedback and critique is a great idea!
Isabella and Khadijah,
We are currently running a crime writing competition, in association with Bloomsbury Publishing. A winner will be chosen every month for the next 9 months and then a final, overall winner will be chosen during National Short Story Week in November.
Prizes will include: £100 worth of Bloomsbury books, ePublication of your short story, tickets to Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival and a place at the Writers' & Artists' Yearbook Conference 2013.

For inspiration, read our interview with crime writer Parker Bilal: http://www.writersandartists.co.uk/2012/03/interview-with-parker-bilal2
Congratulations to the shortlisted 12. Sadly, I wasn't amongst them, but I support Khadijah's comments, 'When is the next competition starting.'
If we didn't make the shortlist, is it now OK to publish our submissions elsewhere to get feedback and critiques on them?
