Calling #flashfiction writers

Are you a flash fiction writer? The flash fiction category of the Flash 500 Competitions closes at the end of June.

When it comes to prizes, it often seems as though flash fiction is the poor relation of writing competitions. This, however, is a flash fiction competition where the prize money truly reflects the skill required to encapsulate an entire story in just 500 words.

Now in its eighth year, this quarterly open-themed competition has closing dates of 31st March, 30th June, 30th September and 31st December 2017. The results will be announced within six weeks of each closing date and the three winning entries each quarter will be published on this website.

Entry fee: £5/€6.50 for one story, £8/€10 for two stories
Optional critiques: £10/€13.50 per story

Prizes will be awarded as follows:
First: £300
Second: £200
Third: £100
