Short Story submission thread: Post your story(ies) here for a chance to win. (Deadline Friday) Jacob Send a noteboard - 27/04/2010 02:48:29 PM
We have two different prizes up for grabs for this contest. Blonde Bombshell by Tom Holt is the prize for UK/Euro winners. The Best American Fantasy 3 short story anthology is the prize for North American winners. The only requirement for either zone is that the book needs to be sent to an address in that zone. I believe there are 3 copies of each, but I'll have to check on that.

This is a flash fiction contest, so we are looking for very short stories, ideally between 5 and 500 words, anything over 1000 words will not be eligible. When you submit your story, please indicate which of the two zones you reside in.

Deadline is Friday, May 7. The judging will done by a panel of 4, Rebekah, myself and two others. Oh, and please keep your work original. I don't want fan fiction or some other derivative work.

We have some great entries so far. Enter as many times as you'd like before the end of the day on Friday, 7 May... we'll make it end of Friday by the RAFO clock.
EDIT by Rebekah: Here's the review for the North America Giveaway.

And here's the review for the UK/Europe prize.
