The BBC National Short Story Award is a British literary award for short stories. It was founded in 2005 by NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) with support from BBC Radio 4 and Prospect magazine.[1] The winner receives £15,000 for a single short-story.[1][2] The award was originally known as the National Short Story Award and was renamed to include "BBC" in 2008 to reflect the current sponsor.[1]

The award has been called the richest prize in the world for a single short story.[2] However, the Sunday Times EFG Private Bank Short Story Award is greater at £30,000.[3]

Normally, the award is open to British authors only. In 2012, it was open to a global audience for one year only in honour of the 2012 Summer Olympics, which were hosted in London.[4]
