SpecFicNZ runs frequent no-fee writing contests for our members and occasionally for the public at large.

These contests are intended to encourage our members to improve their skills and professionalism, try something new, practice submitting, and to promote their wonderful work. And, of course, there are prizes.

Here is a schedule of confirmed contests for 2013:

• February – Twitter Love Contest. Closed.

• April – Wily Writers Short Story Contest. Closed.
