The original short story entries should be 1000 to 10,000 words in length except for categories 5 and 6. Please do not submit stories that are AI-generated in part or whole.

DEADLINE: All works should be submitted by July 1, 2024. You may submit more than one entry. You may submit a donation to the ministry of FGI, but it is not required to enter the contest. Submit your story as a PDF document, in 12 point, upper/lower case, Times Roman font, or similar, to: Info@freegrace.in.

We will review all of the entries and pick the winners that may appear on this website. Awards will be given to the winners in each category, including a certificate of achievement.
