Writers' News Writers' group anthology competition
Can anyone give me a link to information about this competition? I know the deadline is January 2013 but I'd like to find the rules and applicatin information. I've been searching but can't seem to locate it. Thanks for any help you can give.

To be honest, the website is hopeless in terms of information about the awards. It has no details of former winners or how to enter the next competition. Your best bet is probably to search for the advert in Writers' News, or you could try the email address given on this website:

As I understand it they hived off from the magazine some years ago. WM/WN run their own competitions now.
I'm sure Webbo can clarify.
Ignore me, Trimbell, my information's out of date!
Sorry for the delay in response. The DSJT Trust is only involved with the awards as sponsor now - we organise and judge it. The rules are very simple and entry forms are linked from here: http://www.writers-online.co.uk/Writing-Competitions/ (alternatively, http://www.writers-online.co.uk/userfiles/files/Self%20Publishing%20award%20competition%20entry%20form.pdf or http://www.writers-online.co.uk/userfiles/files/Anthology%20Award%20competition%20entry%20form.pdf )
I'm a little miffed with the editor. LLandudno Writers don't have an anthology but do have a magazine every two months with stories, our in-house comp entries, articles, poems, views, other competitions ,etc. I sent a copy, weeks ago, with the suggestion there should be a competition for writing groups who produce a Newsletter (either a mag like us or news sheet(s)). So far no reply.
Toothlight - sorry for lack of reply. It's just priorities really. There seem to be far more group anthologies than newsletters, and higher up the list (but not something we've yet accommodated) would be a category for ebooks.
