  3. The Completed Work must be of no less than 90,000 words and of no more than 200,000 words for both the General Fiction and Previously Published Categories. For Non-Fiction and Academic entries, no less than 75,000 words and no more than 200,000 words. Longer or shorter works may in exceptional circumstances be accepted, but only by prior approval by the competition organisers, please address your request to exceptionalentries@undiscoveredauthors.co.uk

  4. All entries must be submitted in English.

  5. The Completed Work and Synopsis must be submitted together as a single MS Word file.
  6. Submissions must not contain any more than 16 pages of colour or black and white gloss inserts (black and white diagrams/illustrations are exempt from this clause).

  7. Both the synopsis and completed work should be submitted electronically by email attachment to the organisers web address – entries@undiscoveredauthors.co.uk– and clearly state the entrant's name, contact details, competition category and entry number.

  8. In exceptional circumstances, the organisers may accept hard copies as postal entries, either as printed word documents and/or CD entries. Hand-written entries will not be accepted. In order to enter in this way, candidates should address their request to exceptionalentries@undiscoveredauthors.co.uk explaining why they are unable to convert their potential entry into a standard, e-mail compatible MS Word file. The competition organisers are not obliged to accept submissions in this way and their decision in this regard is final. If successful as a competition winner, an electronic version will be required in order for the prize to be offered. Please do not send typed/CD entries without gaining prior permission as these will not be accepted.
