Introducing the 2014 Flash Fiction Contest

Sep 27, 2014

We’re pleased to announce our annual flash fiction contest.  This year’s judge is Ashley Farmer.  She is the author of a The Women (Civil Coping Mechanisms, forthcoming 2016), Beside Myself (Tiny Hardcore Press, 2014), and Farm Town (Rust Belt Binder, 2012).  She’s also the Co-Managing Editor of Juked.

This contest is run through The Conium Review Online Compendium.  The winner receives a $300 honorarium.  The winning piece is posted online, but we’re also making the winning piece into a tangible object.  It will become a broadside or micro-chap that we will hand out for free at our AWP Conference table.  If the winner is attending the 2015 AWP Conference in Minneapolis, there may also be a chance for an off-site reading of her or his work.  For the winning author, this a great opportunity to get your work out there and make some dough in the process.

The contest opens for submissions on October 15th and closes on December 15th.  There is a $10 contest entry fee.  Full guidelines available here.
