10One of the things this website has been known for is our Competitions and Submissions articles which thousands of people a year check out to see where they can fire off their latest story or poem. However, over the last few monthly we’ve come across a series of Flash Fiction Contest that don’t fit into our present competition listing format.
These contests are running constantly restarting every week or month depending on the competition. Also many only accepted entries over a 24 hour period making them a great challenge for those who want to test their writing ability. We’ve broken the contests down into weekly and monthly to help you choose which contests are best for you.
Please note many of these contests come from around the world – mainly America – so always check what time zone they are in so you don’t miss you.
