NEXT CONTEST:

2025 PARANORMAL FLASH FICTION CHALLENGE

PRIZE: £1,000 | CLOSES: 28th April, 2025 | WORDS: 600 max

For this paranormal flash fiction challenge, each participant will be randomly assigned a paranormal entity or phenomenon. Once you receive your assignment, you’ll have until the deadline to craft a complete flash fiction story—600 words or fewer—that features this paranormal entity or phenomenon at the heart of the narrative. There’s no minimum word requirement, but your entry must stand alone as a full story.

Your piece can be eerie, heartfelt, romantic, thrilling, darkly humorous, or anything else. This definitely isn’t a horror contest—though you can submit horror, of course. The only requirement is that the paranormal takes center stage.

Entry: £3
