Here is, it seems, a brand new short story competition from the Doneraile Literary & Arts Festival in Cork, with a prize of €1000 for a 2000 word story. €2 a word. Not bad if you can get it. Canon Sheehan was a Cork-born priest who also wrote novels and poetry. (It's always nice to see a new comp with decent prize money. Don't them Corkonians do a lot for the short story?! Fair play to them...)
