Run by Shoreham Press, a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), the WriteTime Short Story Competition is aimed at older writers out there (you have to be aged over 60 to enter). It challenges writers aged over 60 to share their stories and their talent and to turn their reflections into fiction.
