Scratch A4 Competition
​​Scratch A4 is a bi-annual event. Ostensibly a competition for <1000 word stories, it works as a front for readers and writers to whoop it up together.​​​​​
​
Submissions for the Summer A4 competition have closed.
We will announce the longlist in the week beginning 12th May and the shortlisted finalists on 23rd May!
The Scratch A4 final will be held upstairs in the Star and Garter pub, 62, Poland Street on Saturday 7th June.
You can buy your ticket for the Scratch A4 Summer '25 event here!
