National Flash Fiction Day is OPEN for submissions for our annual Anthology and Microfiction Competition until Saturday, 15 February 2025!
This is a little reminder that there is only a week left to submit your flash for consideration in our annual anthology and our microfiction competition -- plenty of time for you to draft something new or polish something up. We are excited to read work from anyone and everyone, all around the world.
For our Microfiction Competition, we're looking for flash of up to 100 words. There is no theme. Your work will be read by judges Sudha Balagopal, Rebecca Field, James Montgomery and Sherry Morris. Winners and runners-up will receive cash prizes and be published online and in our print/ebook anthology. Full submission details can be found here and you can read more about our judges here.
For the 2025 Anthology, we're looking for flash up to 500 words on the theme of SEASONS. Your work will be read by editors Karen Jones and Cheryl Markosky. Selected work will be published in our 2025 print/ebook anthology and be considered for our Editors' Choice Awards which come with a £50 prize. You can read our submission details here.
If you're looking for inspiration for your anthology, our artist-in-residence Jeanette Sheppard has recorded an ekphrastic workshop that you can follow along at your own pace. The workshop is free and you can find the video and resources here:
Our Anthology and Microfiction Competition teams look forward to reading your work!
