We hold three annual contests: Flash Fiction, Short Story, and Poetry. First prize in each contest is $1,000 and publication. Second prize wins $100 and publication and three or four honorable mentions each receive $25 plus publication. Writers from around the world are welcome, and all entries are read blind so everyone gets an equal chance.

We are committed to keeping entry fees low so no one who wants to enter is excluded for financial reasons, and we sometimes waive the fee for those in extreme circumstances. It’s not about the money—it’s simply about finding the best work available and bringing it to our readers in an appealing,easy-to-read format.
