Flash Fiction Contest
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 "the race".
For this contest you must focus on the a single moment of your characters life that somehow involves the topic. How you approach this topic is up to you but the focus of the story must clearly be on that moment and incorporate this topic. What is happening that makes this moment stand out and be interesting to your readers. Take this moment - and use a small number of words - to create your story. It must be a complete story. No poetry.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 75.00 member dollars. There are only 1 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 80.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Thursday, May 28, 2009.
