Stockholm Writers Festival 2025

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

The rules are simple: In max 100 words, tell us a story about either the “Barumskvinnan,” or the “Granhammarsmanen,” from the Mesolithic period. (10,000BCE) The figures were crafted by forensic artist Oscar Nilsson. Note: Your story can be set in any time period. It should be inspired by her face, not the details of her existence. 

All genres welcome. Multiple entries allowed.
 

Open for Submissions: Friday, August 29, when SWF25 opens

Deadline: Saturday, August 30, 10:00 p.m. 

Judging criteria: Entries will be judged on creativity and craft
