The competition is both local and international. Each year, there is a special prize for stories featuring Farnham, as well as a competition open to international entries.
There are three prizes of £100, £25, and £25.
The judge is a leading author based in Farnham. The judging panel includes prominent writers, authors, and readers from Surrey, UK, and its surrounding areas. Past judges have included Joanne Barnard and Ann Rainbow.
