Beware the Ides of March....

On March 15, 2021, The Ekphrastic Review will hold a very special flash fiction challenge. Can you write the winning story in 24 hours?

$100 CAD and publication for first place.

$10 entry fee.

Selected entries will also be published in a special showcase.

Rules

1. On the Ides of March (March 15, 2021) at 12.01 A.M. EST, a prompt will be posted. It will be ekphrastic, involving art, with open ended instructions and imagery. In other words, it will not be a single artwork prompt but something of a scavenger hunt by theme, with you ultimately choosing a work that speaks to you. Some works on the theme will be suggested as possibilities as well.

2. 1000 words max. Firm. No minimum.

3. Flash fiction only.

4. Due by midnight EST that same day.

5. Winner and selected stories to publish will be announced and posted on March 30, 2021.

6. Winner will be paid by PayPal.

7. One entry only per person.

8. Submit story to theekphrasticreview@gmail.com. FLASH IN A FLASH in subject line.

​9. No late entries will be accepted.

Thank you for your participation and support. Entry fees for this and recent contests, and ebook purchases, support this journal, and the time and fees to maintain and promote it. We are very happy to be able to start offering occasional cash prizes to our writers and hope to continue to do so in the future. Much appreciated!
