After another great series of entries for our recent Poetry Competition we’re hoping for a similar response for our latest Flash Fiction challenge.
This time the prompt is “Colours” which gives you quite a wide scope. The word limit is 300 (not including title) but remember that every word should count – you’re looking to distil the very essence of your story into its purest form while at the same time immersing the reader into the scene. And also remember that 300 words is a limit, not a target. If you can achieve what you want in 219 or 73 words, that’s fine.
You can enter via hard copy or by email with docx/pdf attachments.
Deadline is 7 August 18 September with winners announced on 2 September 7 October 2021. Full details and rules are on our Competitions Page.
If you want to see some past winners, click here for 2020, 2019 and 2018. Judging will be by Anne Howkins who has had several flash pieces published online and in printed publications.
Good luck!
