Bath Flash Fiction Award is an international rolling flash fiction competition. Each award runs for 4 months. Judging takes place quickly with a top prize of £1000, £300 second, and £100 third. At the close of each competition, the next competition begins. Our last winner was announced within a week of the Award closing, and running three Awards per year means our total annual prize fund is £4200.
All entrants will be considered for print publication in our forthcoming Bath Flash Fiction Award Anthology, due out the end of 2016.
The current Award closes Midnight UTC February 14th 2016.

About Us
We aim to encourage
writers to develop their skills by creating pieces of 300 words or less
in an atmosphere of awarded competition. We also intend to promote flash fiction and bring the genre to a wider audience. By way of meeting this commitment, we also run the very successful Ad Hoc Fiction project, an entirely free initiative aimed at promoting reading and writing of the very short form.
Our competition is organised by Jude Higgins, who also co-runs the international Bath Short Story Award, and Writing Events Bath. She is a writer and writing tutor, holding a Masters Degree in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University.
Bath Flash Fiction Award is both self-supporting and not-for-profit.
We pride ourselves in our ability to continually develop new ways to
promote emerging flash fiction writers and flash fiction in general. If
you would like to talk to us further, we tweet @BathFlashAward, or you can contact us here.
