BUT: If you are older than 30 on January 1, 2007, or live outside India, read no further!

ALSO:  The spirit of the Toto Awards is to identify promise and encourage young talent. Therefore, do not submit an entry if you are already a well-known, published writer.

TFA is looking for entries in a variety of genres -- the novel, short stories, plays, scripts and poetry.

The submissions should ideally not be more than 10,000 words. Pieces of short fiction; an extract from a novel, play or script; or between five and ten poems are recommended (but not mandatory) norms. Sensible combinations of the above are acceptable within the word limit.

Entries should reach TOTO FUNDS THE ARTS (TFA) before October 31, 2006.
