FRIDAY NOTES & NEWS: Enter our Flash Fiction Week Contest & Win Cash

WELCOME TO Flash Fiction Week 2023. We will choose the best five stories to post on CommuterLit the week of June 5 – 9, 2023. The First-place winner will receive a cash prize of CA$100; the Second-place winner will receive a cash prize of CA$50; and the the three runner-ups will receive a cash prize of CA$25 each.

A contest fee of CA$3 per entry goes towards sustaining the prize pot; and hopefully, eventually building up enough resources to pay all our contributors on a continual basis.

The word count limit per story is 500. You can enter as many stories as you like, but only one story per submission.

Submission deadline is end of day EDT Monday, May 29, 2023.

Submit using our Flash Fiction Week 2023 portal on Submittable.
