We’re looking for the best FLASH FICTION STORY of no more than 800 words. Our Flash Fiction Competition features a secret location in which all participants must set their story. It could be a club in London, a beach in Brazil, a restaurant in Nairobi, a forest in Tibet, a chalet in Switzerland… You only find out the location after you enter!

Last year, the secret location was 'A Souk in Morocco'. You can read 2020's winning story here.

Entries into the Globe Soup 2021 Flash Fiction Competition can be written in any genre or style, but they must be FICTION!

Although your story must be set in, or at least partially set in the given location, how much the setting features in your story is up to you! Full rules for the competition can be found here.

All participants can get extensive feedback on their entry by taking part in the FEEDBACK EXCHANGE in our Members-Only Group, as well as FREE ENTRY to our MONTHLY MICRO CONTESTS for a chance to win £100 every month!
