THE INAUGURAL TCN/FRASER SHORT STORY COMPETITION 2020
This year, perhaps more than most, our teams at The Crew Network (TCN) and FRASER have heard and shared more stories and anecdotes with our captains and crew of fun, memorable, sad or insightful events or observations than ever before.
Stories that have kept spirits up when perhaps they were flagging, anecdotes that have reminded us all of the common ground and goals we share in yachting.
In fact, so rich in humour, observation and experience were those stories, that we felt it was time you had the chance to commit them to paper and give them a chance to shine and be enjoyed by everyone.
So we have created THE TCN/Fraser SHORT STORY COMPETITION 2020 with the theme: When Life is Your Short Story.
HOW CAN YOU ENTER?
If you are a Captain or crew member currently working on board vessels 24m (79’) and up, anywhere in the world today, then we invite you to unleash your imagination and story-telling skills and take part in our inaugural short story competition.
The story, based on the theme of Yachting, should not exceed 2000 words, and can be written in any literary genre.
And if you can wow our panel of Judges then not only could your story end up being published on the TCN/Fraser websites and shared in the Fraser Newsletter but you can be in with a chance of winning one of these three great prizes:
First Prize
Second Prize
And all winners will receive the new FRASER Eco-friendly insulated 1l water bottle.
