SUMMARY:F - On the Premises Short Story Contest Theme: Vehicle
DESCRIPTION:The Current Contest\nShort Story Contest #43 launched on Sunday\, December 10\, 2023. \nVEHICLE \nFor this contest\, write a creative\, compelling\, well-crafted story between 1\,000 and 5\,000 words long in which some kind of vehicle plays an important role. Merely using the vehicle as a simple plot device or to help characters get somewhere is not enough. For instance\, “While flying home I made a bunch of new friends on the flight” isn’t good enough\, because the same story–making new friends–could easily be told without the plane. \nGENRE RULES: No fiction aimed at readers younger than 12\, no exploitative sex\, no over-the-top grossout horror\, and no stories that are obvious parodies of existing fictional worlds/characters created by other authors. (For the same reason\, we do not accept “fan fiction”.) Other than that\, we’ll take anything from the most super-realistic literary drama to crazy farces (real-world or otherwise) to any variant of science fiction or fantasy you can imagine. Read our past issues and you’ll see. \nDeadline: 11:59 PM Eastern US time\, Friday\, March 1\, 2024. \nOne entry per author. There is no fee for entering this contest.\nRemember to take all identifying information out of your story! Tell us who you are in the space provided in the web form cover letter you get when you click on the “submit” button\, NOT in your story! No headers\, no bylines… just the story.

SUMMARY:P - Yaffle's Nest Competition.  Theme: "What we Inherit from Water"
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nWater is essential for life. We drink it\, wash with it\, swim in it. Some of our earliest memories involve the taste or smell or sound of it. Water has the power to change landscapes\, it can soothe and frighten us\, but one thing is for sure\, we can’t live without it. \nThis competition will look for poems that speak to us about what we inherit from water and what that means depends on your own relationship with it. We want to see poems which show what you get from water in all its many forms. Poems that show what water provides and what it takes away. How being near it and in it makes you feel and what it’s like to be without it. Use water to write about something else. Tell us how it is\, tell us how it isn’t! \nThe competition judge is Mark Connors. First prize is £200\, second prize £50.00 and the third prize £25.00. The prizewinning and longlisted poems will all be included in an anthology entitled ‘What we Inherit from Water’\, to be published under the Yaffle’s Nest banner next year and launched on a date and at a venue tbc. \nTo enter the competition\, please pay the appropriate fee on PayPal. \nPlease include the reference: Yaffle Prize. \nEmail your submissions to \nyafflesnest@gmail.com \nPlease also include your name\, contact details \nand address in the body of the email. \nNo names should appear on the submitted document. \nPlease submit all poems on one document via a word/docx attachment. \n​ \n\n\nRULES\nOnly poems of 40 lines or less will be considered. \nThe poems may be in any style. \nWork deemed to be offensive will not be considered. \nAll entries must be the work of the poet submitting. \nPreviously published poems are not permitted. \nWe will not be accepting translations of poetry. \nNo changes can be made to poems once they have been submitted. \nAny entries in violation to the above will be disqualified. \nNo refunds will be given once work has been submitted. \nThe decision from our judges is final. \nNo correspondence regarding entries will be entered into. \n**As the poems are blind judged\, to keep anonymity\, \npoems which have been workshopped by the judge will be disqualified \nEntries can be made online via Pay Pal

SUMMARY:PFN - After Happy Hour Contest Theme: Animals
DESCRIPTION:For this year’s contest\, we want submitters to go wild–or domesticated\, or sentient\, or whatever other form of beastly you’re feeling. In other words: we’re seeking work from any and all genres that involves non-human living creatures in some way\, shape\, or form. \nSubmissions that fit the theme will include some kind of animal. Note that this doesn’t need to be a real animal. It can be a cryptid like a chupacabra\, a hybrid made via genetic engineering\, a robot pet\, or some new species that you’ve made up. It also counts if it’s a human who becomes an animal–a Kafka-style transformation\, for example\, or a were-beast\, Selkie\, etc. The animal can be an image or metaphor\, too\, but we’re looking for more than a passing mention of birds singing from the trees. The animal should be integral to the story in some way\, be that as a character\, a plot point\, or a central theme. \nEach $10 entry can be: \n\n1 prose work of 1\,000 words or longer\nup to 3 individual poems sent in a single document\nup to 3 flash or micro prose pieces in a single document\n\n  \nNumbers update 1/1: At the halfway point of the contest\, we’ve received 67 entries and the prize pool is currently at $320. \nPoetry: Send up to 3 individual poems\, no line or word limits. \nFiction: Send a single short story or up to 3 flash or micro pieces (fewer than 1\,000 words each) in a single document. We have no hard word count limits\, and welcome stories in that hard-to-publish 5\,000-10\,000 word length that justify their real estate. That said\, this is a print issue\, so we won’t be able to publish anything that’s a true novella length. \nCreative non-fiction: Send a single piece of 1\,000 words or longer\, or up to 3 flash or micro pieces (fewer than 1\,000 words each) in a single document. We are specifically looking for lyric or narrative non-fiction\, not scholarly essays (though if you’re using the tropes of scholarly essays within the context of a creative essay\, that we do want to see). \nHybrid/Cross-Genre: Yes\, please. Follow whichever of the above guidelines makes the most sense for your work.\n \nPrize Info:\nThe winners and honorable mentions for this contest will receive a percentage of the total entry fees paid (including purchases of After Happy Hour print issues): \n\nUp to 3 “ranked winners” will split 30%.\nUp to 3 honorable mentions will split 15%\n\nHow this will look in practice will depend on the work we receive. Possible scenarios: \n\nThree 1st place winners\, one each in fiction\, poetry\, and CNF\, who each get 10%; three honorable mentions\, one in each category\, that get 5%\nTwo 1st place winners\, one each in poetry and prose\, who each get 15%; two honorable mentions\, one in each category\, that get 7.5%\nOverall 1st (20%) and 2nd (10%) place\, plus 1-3 overall honorable mentions\nA single Grand Prize winner who walks away with the whole 30%\, plus 1-3 overall honorable mentions\n\nThe more submissions we get\, the more winners and honorable mentions we’re likely to award. All submitted works will also be considered for publication in the issue. If we publish your work and you don’t win a prize\, you’ll get $10 (basically you’ll get your entry fee back) and 2 copies of the print issue. \nGeneral Guidelines: \n\nPlease include a brief (100 words max) 3rd-person bio with your submission.\nTo limit editor bias\, we read all submissions anonymously. To this end\, we ask submitters to remove their name and contact information from the document before submitting it.\nUse standard manuscript format (11- or 12-point font\, standard margins/spacing). We won’t reject you for weird spacing or a bad font (probably)\, but following this standard makes things easier to read\, and that makes the editors happy. Poets/experimental prose writers have more liberty here if the non-standard formatting is used for stylistic reasons. Straightforward prose writers have no excuse.\nWe accept submissions only through Submittable. Submissions sent to our e-mail will be deleted unread.\nMultiple submissions are allowed\, but each submission must be accompanied by its own $10 submission fee.\nSimultaneous submissions are accepted for the contest. However\, your entry fee will not be returned if the piece is accepted elsewhere and you need to withdraw it.\nPreviously published work is not accepted for the contest. We are looking for new\, unpublished stories for this issue.\nIf you need to withdraw a longer prose piece\, or an entire packet of poems or flash prose\, you can choose the “withdraw” option on Submittable. To withdraw a single poem or flash piece from a packet\, you can message us through Submittable or e-mail us (afterhappyhour [at] gmail [dot] com).\nAccepted submissions may be edited for grammar. All changes will be sent to the author for approval before publication.\nWe acquire first publishing rights and electronic archive rights. All other rights are retained by the author. Following the work’s publication in After Happy Hour\, you can re-publish and anthologize your work as you see fit. Content can be removed from the website on request\, but cannot be removed from the issue in which it was published.

We inhabit physical bodies that exist in space while we are thinking\, feeling\, reading\, and writing. \nSend us poetry that recognises that embodiment in some way: poetry about breathing and breathlessness; poetry about soft touches and the sensation of sunlight on your skin; poetry about the body’s limits\, its pain\, its power and its powerlessness; poetry which makes us cringe and poetry that makes our blood boil; poetry that reminds us what it is to be human\, to exist in and to interact with bodies. \nAs always\, we are open to broad interpretations of the theme – feel free to surprise us and to stretch our imagination! \nSUBMISSION GUIDELINES\n\nThe entry fee (per submission of up to 3 poems) is £4. If the fee prevents you from entering the contest\, get in touch with us at editor@passionfruitreview.com\nSubmissions are open to all poets writing in English.\nPoems must be previously unpublished.\nStrong language is fine – abusive or discriminatory language is not.\nSimultaneous submissions are welcome – just let us know promptly through the submissions manager if you need to withdraw any of your poems.\nSubmit 1-3 poems in a single file.\nPoems up to 40 lines will be considered (we consider longer poems as general submissions!)\nPlease note that the review process will be kept strictly anonymous.

SUMMARY:F - The Blue Frog Flash Fiction Prize.  Theme: A Sense of Place
DESCRIPTION:2024 Theme: “A Sense of Place”\nWhether on the streets of Rio de Janeiro during Carnival or in a gas station bathroom somewhere outside Cedar Rapids\, where our characters are and where their stories take place has meaning. So we want to see stories were the setting comes to life and becomes a character all its own\, stories where the characters’ surroundings are irrevocably tied to their moments that matter\, stories where the setting reaches out and grabs the reader to place them right there in that specific time and place. It can be as grand as the moon or as mundane as the driveway\, we just want to be there! \nPrizes:\n1st Place: $500 \n2nd Place: $150 \n3rd Place: $50 \n** All three winners will also receive a signed book from the Guest Judge and the original artwork that accompanies their published story. \nRules & Misc.:\n— Fiction only. \n— 1\,000 words maximum (this is a firm limit). \n— All submissions should be the author’s original work and not previously published elsewhere (this includes blogs\, social media\, etc). \n— Multiple submissions are allowed\, but each should be submitted separately (with no limit to the amount of entries). \n— Simultaneous submission are allowed\, but please email to withdraw your submission as soon as it has been accepted elsewhere.

If your work is subsequently reprinted elsewhere\, please acknowledge Flash Frog as the site of first publication. \n— All previous Flash Frog contributors are eligible\, regardless of when they were published. \n— All submissions will receive a response before the finalists are announced. \n— Aside from a small fee to the Guest Judge and Artist\, 100% of entry fees go to Flash Frog writers/artists (contest prize money + helping us continue to be a paying market year round while keeping general submissions free). \n— Prize money will be paid via PayPal on the day of publication. \n— All entries are also eligible for standard Flash Frog publication. \n— Initial reading will be done by Flash Frog staff.

I’m looking for writing that reflects the drive that nature has to just be\, no matter where the boundaries lie. I’m looking for innovation of craft and thought. Not just dandelions squeezing through the gaps between paving slabs\, what about the re-wilding of rivers\, what about the window box encouraging pollinators in a high rise flat\, what about the nightingales singing from the overgrowth of an industrial estate’s wasteland. Grow your thoughts\, let your poems flourish. Where is the connection to nature that doesn’t conform to stereotype? How do you connect to nature if your life is constrained by circumstance\, disability\, societal?  Nature Unbound is about thinking outside of traditional nature writing tropes. I’m excited to see where you take it.”

SUMMARY:F - Wild Atlantic Writing Awards (WAWA) Flash Fiction Award. Theme: "Change"
DESCRIPTION:Heraclitus\, a Greek philosopher\, is quoted as saying “change is the only constant in life” – and he was right. \nAnd change comes in many shapes and forms\, some planned but some unplanned and totally unexpected. \nEvents happen\, often beyond our control\, leading us to change our views.

SUMMARY:PFN - Black Fox Prize: Rhapsody of Regret
DESCRIPTION:Black Fox is accepting submissions for its ninth writing prize. The theme for this round is “Rhapsody of Regret.” We are open to loose interpretations of the theme in any genre\, as always. \nWhat lies underneath the weight of regret? \nSo often\, regrets are reminders of roads not taken\, words left unsaid\, and chances not taken. They echo in the deepest parts of our minds\, insisting on what might have been. Whether fiction\, creative nonfiction\, or poetry\, we’re looking for work that uncovers the multifaceted nature of regrets. What emotions\, lessons\, and transformations emerge in retrospect? \nPlease submit your strongest fiction\, nonfiction\, or poetry\, and we will choose one winner that we feel interprets the theme best. The prize is $300 and publication in the Winter 2024 issue. All submissions are considered for publication in the Winter 2024 issue. The contest entry fee is $12\, and submissions must be submitted before midnight (EST) on November 30\, 2023. \nPlease make sure your manuscript is double-spaced with 12-point font. Submissions should be no more than 5\,000 words. For poetry\, send up to three poems in the same document. For flash fiction\, send up to two stories in the same document. Author’s name and page number should appear in the top right-hand corner of every page. We also ask that you specify the category/genre of your work in the cover letter. Submissions are accepted through our submission manager\, found here. \nPlease DO NOT submit work that isn’t ready. Take your time and polish your work to the best of your ability before sending it in. No changes can be made to your submission after we receive it. \nWe will select a winner by the end of January 2024\, and each entrant will receive a response to their submission. \n***Writers\, please note that entry fees are non-refundable\, and payment to winners is awarded via PayPal. We reserve the right to extend the contest deadline if necessary.*** \nThe Black Fox team looks forward to reading your wonderful submissions!

DESCRIPTION:100 words about 5 minutes of your life\, on the theme of AWAY. Interpret any way you’d like. Submit up to five entries. \nSend us your 100-word piece about five minutes in your life and we’ll consider it for publication. Guidelines: \n• Piece should be 100 words\, formatted as one paragraph. Not 99. Not 101. Title\, which is not part of 100 words\, should be 15 characters maximum\, including spaces. \n• There should be one identifiable moment (approx. five minutes) that’s the crux of the piece. \n• We don’t publish:\n—retellings of dreams\n—retellings of things you imagined\n—retellings of things you saw without any reference to you/your response (we want you in the piece!)\n—erotic memoir\n—pieces containing graphic violence\n—pieces from the perspective of abusers\n—poetry or fiction\, though we are interested in poetic prose and memoir masquerading as fiction\n—pieces which overtly promote a theological or political ideology\n—pieces in which you tell us someone else’s memory as told to you\n—pieces that contain hate speech\n—slurs. \n• Each piece should be formatted without line breaks;\none block of text\, not multiple\, short paragraphs. \n• -We are receiving many (beautiful) submissions about the last time a writer saw a beloved person\, about putting a pet to sleep\, and about the quiet moments in the morning before the day starts. Due to the high number of submissions on these themes\, these pieces are less likely to receive acceptances. We challenge you to take risks with your voice\, your structure\, your chronology … anything that might set your piece apart. \nA panel of contest readers will read/score pieces. The top ten pieces will be sent to Contest Judge Karen Zey who will choose the winner as well as two runners-up. All top ten pieces will run in Five Minutes. \nThe winner will receive 2/5 the contest entry fees\, or $2 per entry. If 2 people enter\, the fees will add up to $10 and the winner will receive $4. If 100 people enter\, that amount will be $500 and the winner will receive $200. [Boring explainer: Submittable keeps $.99 per $5 entry. Five Minutes keeps $2.01 per entry. Winner wins $2 per entry.] \nPlease read Five Minutes’ guidelines for our regular submissions\, which apply here\, except you MAY submit even if you have pieces upcoming in Five Minutes\, and you may submit up to five times. We will return your entry and request a re-format if guidelines haven’t been followed. \nThe contest runs October 1-31; our regular submissions portal will open again on November 1.

SUMMARY:N - Queer Adventurers LGBTQIA Writing Contest 2023.  Theme: "Firsts"
DESCRIPTION:We are looking for 1\,000 to 1\,500 word personal essays on the theme of Firsts. \nSpecifically\, we’re looking to hear a true first-person story of the first time you tried an outdoor activity and how it went. \nTrying something new outdoors builds skills and breaks us out of routine. It can lead to new friendships\, confidence\, and growth. \nLike that time I got lost in a Florida swamp and had to call 911 to get rescued\, it can also go spectacularly wrong! \nStories of the good\, the bad and the never-doing-that-again kind are all welcome! \nAll submissions must connect to the chosen theme and center your LGBTQIA identity. This means more than a passing mention of a sexuality or gender identity. We want to see LGBTQIA identities woven into the stories. \nAll submissions must come from an LGBTQIA author. \nAt Queer Adventurers\, we take an expansive definition of outdoor adventures. We love hardcore stories of multi-day trips and treks. We also appreciate the gentler activities: urban nature walks\, birding\, garden tours. We believe spending time in nature is healing\, regardless of the level of activity it involves. We’re deeply excited to hear your stories of LGBTQ travel firsts. \nEligibility: \nThis LGBTQ+ writing contest accepts submissions from writers anywhere in the world aged 18+. Stories must be previously unpublished. Stories that were previously published on a blog\, Instagram\, etc. are ineligible. Stories must be in English. \nOne submission per writer is allowed\, thanks! Submissions that exceed this work count will be deemed ineligible\, as will multiple submissions from a single writer. \nPrizes\nThe winning writer will receive a $150 cash prize\, payable via PayPal or Venmo.\nOne runner-up will receive a $50 cash prize\, payable via PayPal or Venmo.\nWinning and longlisted writers will have their essays published in Queer Adventurers.
