Orange New Voices is organised by Darlington-based Inscribe Media Ltd, backed, as in previous years, by The Northern Echo, telecommunications company Orange and Darlington Arts Centre.
Formerly known as The Short Story Competition, and in its third year, it aims to showcase exciting new writers of all ages.

Stories for the junior category must be no more than 2,000 words and the winner will receive £300 with prizes of £150 and £100 for second and third place respectively as well as book tokens from Darlington bookstore Ottakar's. Entrants must be aged 11-16.
The new category this year is for writers aged 16 or over who are asked to produce a story of no more than 2,000 words for children aged eight and under. First prize is £600 with second and third prizes of £250 and £150. In total, £2,550 worth of prize money is available.
