Submissions for F.A.C.T. Flash Fiction Contest Open on Sunday, March 16
The 2025 F.A.C.T Flash Fiction Contest will officially open on Sunday, March 16, and entries will be accepted through midnight on March 31.
The contest is open to any workshop student member of ArmadilloCon 2017 through 2025. If you paid a registration fee but were unable to attend, you are still welcome to join the contest. You may also join the contest by registering for this year’s Writers’ Workshop (registration will be open soon!).
There’s a 1,000-word count limit in any genre of speculative fiction (Sci-Fi/ Fantasy/ Horror/ Slipstream/etc.). This year’s theme word is tundra!
More contest details are available on the F.A.C.T. Flash Fiction Contest page.
Can’t submit this year, but want to be involved?
We’d love to see you at an informal social on Sunday, April 5, at 7pm to celebrate the close of the contest (location TBD). We’d also love your help reading and providing feedback on contest submissions and will be sending out more information on that at the contest close.
