Morgen Bailey is the judge for each round and for the final shortlist judging. Judging is blind, i.e. the judge will not know who wrote which story until the prize winners are announced. Please note that no author can be awarded more than one prize so, if an entrant has more than one story ranked in the top eight, then only their best story will be selected. The best story by another author outside the eight will then be a winner. In effect, the best stories by the top eight authors will be awarded the prizes. The judge’s decisions are final. Results will be posted on the. website.
