Fiction has long been the life blood of Bazaar. Thomas Hardy, Henry James, Virginia Woolf, Margaret Atwood and Ali Smith are just a handful of names that make up our glittering roster of past contributors. For the chance to follow in their footsteps, enter our annual short-story Competition by submitting 2,500 words on the subject of ‘The Looking Glass’. The winner will receive a two-night stay and a three course dinner for two in Amberley Castle, an inspiring 900-year-old retreat in rural Sussex and the chance to see their work published in Harper’s Bazaar.
Terms and conditions: the competition is open to individuals aged 18 and over, published or unpublished. To enter, send an original, unpublished short story, written in English on the subject of 'The Looking Glass', of up to 2,500 words to [email protected].

The winner will be selected by a panel of judges and will be based on literary merit, originality and readability. Entrants will be deemed to have accepted these terms and to have agreed to be bound by them.
