The Edge Hill Short Story Prize

The Edge Hill Prize (First Prize: £10,000) is awarded annually by Edge Hill University for excellence in a published single author short story collection. The Prize remains unique as the only annually presented award that recognises excellence in a published, single-authored collection of short stories in the UK and Ireland.
