Now in its sixth year, the Brian Moore Short
Story Awards have produced a welcome boost for new
and emerging writers, many of whom, including Simon
Kerr and Marilyn McLaughlin, have gone on to subsequent
publishing success.
Come along and hear the announcement of this year’s
winners in the company of the 2003 Judge, Carlo
Gebler.
Admission free.

Arcadia Café, North St. Arcade 8.00pm
Things could go from bard to verse here (sorry)
in this battle of wits to the death.
A team of Belfast’s most sharply honed wordsmiths
will line out against the cream of the North-West
versifiers with no punches pulled.
Belfast captain Mark Madden reports ‘This
one will go right to the wire. Our team have been
training round the clock and are at the absolute
top of their game.’
