(1) Momaya Short Story Competition Deadline is 30th April 2009 Momaya Press is extending an invitation to any writers you think may be interested in publishing a short story. This year is our 6th annual competition. Momaya Press sponsors a Short Story Competition to bring fresh writing to the attention of qualified judges. Submit your short story (2,500 word limit) by 30 April 2009 in order to compete for prize money and publication in the Momaya Annual Review 2009. The judges are Alison Hennessey, Editor at Random House; Andy Callus, Copy Editor for Reuters; Nina Steiger, Writers' Centre Director at Soho Theatre; Matt Allen, a freelance journalist. Submission details at: www.momayapress.com/contest.htm (2) Photos from the Momaya Press Awards Ceremony 2008 On 25th November 2008, Momaya Press hosted our 5th annual awards ceremony. The evening featured readings of winning stories, words of inspiration from authors and judges, and original music. Writing is typically a solitary affair and opportunities to share writing communally are rare. We were glad to demonstrate the international nature of our competition which generates submissions from writers around the globe and thank those who joined us on the evening. Five years is a nice round figure, a significant anniversary that we are proud to mark, and an opportunity for us to reflect. We started in the hope that we could make a contribution to the world – that we could encourage people read and write short stories, and help people take time to appreciate substance over the culture of consumerism that permeates every aspect of our life – and especially our leisure time. In the past five years we've received 924 entries from 39 countries and we look forward to receiving even more in the next five years!

We thank the writers, artists, judges, and others who have supported our project to promote the short story as an art form, both as readers and writers. The theme was "passion" and we're sure you'll enjoy the reading. The Momaya Annual Review 2008 is available for purchase through our site: http://www.momayapress.com/store.htm With our best wishes
