BBC short story to go global

The 2012 £15,000 BBC short story prize will be open to authors to enter from anywhere in the world who have been published in the United Kingdom.

Each of the shortlisted stories will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 over two weeks in the run-up to the announcement of a winner.

Radio 4 controller Gwyneth Williams said next year's prize would celebrate "the best of writing around the world in English" and would attract entries from "some of the greatest exponents of the form".

Stories must be either unpublished, or published after March 1, 2011.

The BBC National Short Story Award, which will return in 2013, was launched in 2006 and is normally confined to writers who are resident in the UK.

Closing date for entries is February 27, 2012.
