Just a gentle reminder of the competitions coming up in Graffiti magazine.
The prose competition theme is Secrets and Lies - yours or those of others. Let us in on those little lies - black and white - that can prove useful, kind, damaging or dangerous.
If you are into poetry ... our competition is not themed so you can let your creative thoughts wander far and wide.
Entry information is below. Looking forward to reading your work and publishing the prize winners and runners up.
