The Zeenat Haroon Rashid (ZHR) Writing Prize for Women, now in its third year, is accepting submissions for the 2021 competition in the category of short fiction.
The theme of the contest, as has been for the past two years, is women and Pakistan. The final date for submission is June 30, 2021.
The annual prize was established in 2019 in the memory of Zeenat Haroon Rashid, a founding member of the Women’s National Guard and Muslim League activist during the Freedom Movement.
Each year, the prize alternates between fiction and non-fiction. Last year’s winner was Raniya Hussain, for her non-fiction essay ‘Portrait of a Woman in Pain’.
