What is flash fiction? Often described as being a short short story, flash fiction is defined by far more than its brevity. Written with skill, it layers the power of a far longer piece, even a novel, into the space of a paragraph or two where characters live and breathe, and your reader goes on a journey.
Our 2025 Flash Fiction Award opens for entries on 7 June 2025, closing at 11.59pm on 8 August.
Tempted?
Check out the rules, how to enter and find out about our judges.
Quite simply, with no more than 500 words to play with, every word choice matters!
