We had a fantastic evening in Bangor as we awarded the winners in the Opening Up Digital Fiction Writing Competition. We were able to livestream the whole thing, and it’s been recorded for posterity, so if you missed it, hop on over to YouTube to see the whole event. Tweet us at @ReadDigFic and use #OpeningUpDF to let us know what you think!
