The 2014 edition of our annual flash fiction competition is open now.

This year, we’ve boosted the first prize to £200, and reduced the maximum word count slightly to 1,000 words. (We thought that 1,250 words may be a little long for flash fiction.)

Entry fees are the same as last year, and the deadline is midnight on 31 January 2014 (UK time).

For more information visit our Flash Fiction Competition pages. You’ll find the full terms at the bottom of the entry forms.

We had a great response to last year’s competition – see the winning entries in our anthology Because of What Happened – so I’m really looking forward to reading this year’s entries.
