Do the stories have to be SFF? *NM* fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 27/04/2010 08:47:54 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.

I will add the judging details here when Rebekah and I have a chance to finalize them. Oh, and please keep your work original. I don't want fan fiction or some other derivative work.



EDIT by Rebekah: Here's the review for the <a href="http://www.readandfindout.com/scififantasy/messageboard/102873/">USA Giveaway</a>.

I'll post the review of the UK/Europe giveaway tomorrow.
