SUMMARY:PFN - Exposition Review Seeks Submission on the Theme "Secret" for the Flash 405 Competition
DESCRIPTION:Flash 405 is Exposition Review’s multi-genre flash competition\, awarding prizes and online publication to the winners! The contest runs every other month during our “off” season (January-August)\, when regular submissions are closed. \nFlash 405 is judged by one of our managing editors or a guest judge. Each round is different; some judges will choose to have a theme\, some will not. Please check the Call for Submissions post for each individual contest (listed below and on our blog) for details on the theme. General guidelines are as follows: \nWe accept:\n\nFiction. A complete story\, up to 405 words (Get it?).\nNonfiction. A complete story\, up to 405 words.\nPoetry. One poem\, up to 5 lines (including prose poems).\nStage & Screen. A complete scene\, up to 4 pages. Please format according to the standard unpublished playwriting or screenwriting format.\nExperimental. A complete short form narrative utilizing innovative techniques and/or hybrid forms. Consider the spirit of flash as well as the limits of other categories for length guidelines.\n\nHow does it work?\n\nSubmissions: You submit your flash work via our Submittable. All submissions are judged anonymously. Multiple entries are allowed. Simultaneous submissions and previously published works are not. One piece per entry. Each entry is $5.\n\n\nJudging: We read your work. We deliberate\, we duke it out\, and eventually we narrow it down. Our judge chooses 1st and 2nd place\, along with up to three honorable mentions.\n\n\nPrizes: The winners will all receive publication on the website. Our first and second place winners will also receive a cash prize–but here’s the fun part\, there’s no limit to how much you could win. The more entries we receive\, the larger the prize! Here’s a breakdown:\n\n1st prize: Online publication + 40% of all entry fees.\n2nd prize: Online publication + 20% of all entry fees.\nHonorable Mention: Online publication.\n\n\n\nIs your interest piqued?
