Now in its seventeenth year, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Short Story Award with Cambridge University is one of the most prestigious for a single short story. Following the announcement of the shortlist on Radio 4's Front Row, on Thursday 15th September, the five stories in contention for the 2022 award will be broadcast on Radio 4 from Tuesday 20th September. Each of the shortlisted writers will be interviewed the evening preceding the broadcast of their story on Front Row, and the winner will be announced live on the programme Tuesday 4th October. All the stories will be available on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds after broadcast, and there will be a special edition of the Short Story podcast for each to download.
