The Commonwealth Short Story Prize is awarded annually for the best piece of unpublished short fiction (2,000 - 5,000 words). The prize is open to Commonwealth citizens aged 18 and over. The Commonwealth Short Story Prize is part of an initiative by the Commonwealth Foundation called the Commonwealth Writers, which seeks to unearth, develop and promote the best new fiction from across the Commonwealth.

The overall winner receives £5,000. During 2012-2013, the regional winners would receive £1,000. Starting in 2014, the award for regional winners of the Short Story Prize was increased to £2,500. This was when the Commonwealth Writers decided to discontinue the Commonwealth Book Prize and focus on only the Short Story Prize
