Cork International Short Story Festival 2022 presents
Ó Faoláin & Caine Prizewinners
The Seán Ó Faoláin International Short Story Prize is awarded to the best single story entered in competition from anywhere in the world. The first prize is €2000. The winner also receives a week’s residency at the Anam Cara artist retreat in West Cork, a featured reading at the Cork International Short Story Festival (with four-night hotel stay and full board) and publication of their winning story in Southword. This occasion is an opportunity to hear the 2022 winning story “Infestato” by E.M. Hughes.
E.M. Hughes is a writer and editor making a living offering communications advice in the public and voluntary sector. Having previously worked in grocery stores, pubs, hotels, bookstores, call centres and banks in five different countries, he is happy to earn his keep writing under other people’s names – but happiest when writing under his own. His articles have appeared in the Berkeley Political Review, The Daily Californian, and the Newsletter of the European Union and the Montesquieu Instituut. Hughes resides in Utrecht with his wife and newborn and is completing a collection of stories about working life.
The AKO Caine Prize for African Writing is a literature prize awarded to an African writer of a short story published in English. The Prize was launched in 2000 to encourage and highlight the richness and diversity of African writing by bringing it to a wider audience internationally. The focus on the short story reflects the contemporary development of the African storytelling tradition.
Idza Luhumyo was born in Mombasa, Kenya, and holds a law degree from University of Nairobi. She is the inaugural winner of the Margaret Busby New Daughters of Africa Award (2020) and winner of the Short Story Day Africa Prize (2021). She was recently announced the winner of the AKO Caine Prize for African Writing (2022) for her short story “Five Years Next Sunday,” described by the judges as “an incandescent story.”
