Flash Fiction Competition
Are you ready to flex your creative muscles and sharpen your writing skills by entering our upcoming flash fiction competition, open to writers of all levels? This year’s theme is The Fateful Encounter, and we invite you to write a story about two individuals whose accidental meeting changes their lives forever. Your task is to capture that magical moment when the universe aligns, and two strangers connect in a profound way.
To enter, submit an original flash fiction story of up to 1,000 words along with a 10-euro entry fee. The first prize winner will receive 500 euros, while the second and third prizes will receive 300 and 200, respectively. We’re also offering a New Voice Prize of 50 euros for the best entry from a writer who has not yet been published in print or online.
At the end of the year, after carefully selecting forty of the best stories, we will edit them and with the help of our graphic designer, we will ensure the best possible result. Afterward, we will send the book to our esteemed American publishing house, Koehler Books for publication. Every writer whose story is included in the book will receive three complimentary copies.
Grab this incredible opportunity to showcase your writing skills and possibly win amazing prizes.
Submit your story today and let your creativity shine.
We are looking forward to receiving your stories.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Georgios and his team.
