Description
Entrants were given a single word - 'secrets' - as a trigger to set their creativity loose. They were asked to compose stories that explored the meaning of 'secrets' in whatever way they wanted. More than one thousand entries were received and the resulting collection is a clear indicator of the sheer wealth of talent emerging in Scotland today. Last year's competition, which was based around the concept of 'north' was won by Rob McClure Smith with a story entitled 'Masonry' and was awarded first prize of GBP7,500.
