From today's The Bookseller:
"New MeetCute Storyteller Prize to offer literary representation"
The prize is offered by the Kate Nash Literary Agency. First prizewinner is awarded £500.00, plus agent representation. Two runners-up will be offered one 1-hour one-to-one literary agent consultation.
"No ifs or buts," says agency head Kate Nash (according to Bookseller), referring to the representation. The award will be made based on submission of a 'first chapter of a romance,' which can be from a number of sub-genres.
Oh, and the payment of £12.00, something that is not mentioned by anyone in the story or shown on the MeetCute Storyteller entry form until almost the 'Submit' button at the end.
I am not questioning the need for a charge, or the size of it. If extra work has to be commissioned, it's probably fair enough. It is the apparent concealment I object to.
