Flash Fiction Writing Contest
Organized by FanStory.com
Contests are free to writers.The challenge of flash fiction is to tell a complete story in which every word is absolutely essential. A writer must take away the excess until the story is left with nothing but the clean-scraped core of a story. In this flash fiction contest we are challenging writers to write a flash fiction piece that is between 500 and 800 words on the topic provided. The topic is "missing".
For this contest write a story that somehow involves the topic. How you approach this topic is up to you but the focus of the story must clearly incorporate this topic. It must be a complete story. No non-fiction. No poetry.
The winners will be selected by the FanStory.com Contest Committee. A winner will be announced approximately one to two weeks after the deadline passes. The decision is final.
The submitted work must be between 500 and 800 words. The title of the work does not count in the word count. If the word count is over or under this amount the work will not be presented to the contest committee. For a rough word counter utility click here but we recommend the use of a word processor to count the words.
The winner takes away a $100 cash prize. Second place will win twenty-five member dollars. Third place ten member dollars.
A Gift Card Is A Prize Option This contest is open to all members. Past contest winners can join the contest.
