Contest Details
Deadline: 09/30/2015 -- that means get it in fast!

Entry Fee: $10 OR 3 for $20
Criteria for Acceptable Flash Fiction
Is there a definable plot? Do you have a clear beginning? A strong centerpiece? A definitive ending? Does your story make its point and drive it home, hard? Though not all stories need to be forceful to fit into this small genre, it’s a trend that follows flash throughout the years. Still, if your story doesn't have that hard-hitting theme and end by smacking into a wall, don't worry; it's not a necessity.
Other Contest Details
Poems qualify as Flash Fiction.
Entries accepted only by email, but entry check can be mailed or just use PayPal.
All entries will be published in a special anthology in time for Christmas gift giving--if at least 72 entries are received!
Prizes
No ties. First Place: $150, Second: $100, Third: $75
Just Want Your Story Published?
