Postcard Fiction Contest

 2023 Postcard Fiction Contest 

We  had so much fun reading your entries to our first flash fiction contest that we thought, "Hey, let's see what new stories are waiting to get written in 2023." And just to keep things interesting (we know you love a  challenge), we're calling on you to write a story in 250 words or less -  like  you could fit it on a postcard, but stamps are expensive, so you can  submit your story through our digital upload submission form.  

Prizes: $300, $200, & $100

Winning entries will be published in Counterflow Magazine issue #3 in 2024

Entries will be judged by Ken Rivard, author of CanalWatch

Submissions are open from April 1st to May 31st , 2023.   

Wordstorm members - $5.00                  Non-Members - $25.00   

You can become a Wordstorm Member prior to entering the contest in order to qualify for the Wordstorm members entry fee.

Please read Submission guidelines before sending in your entry. ​  

**** After you pay your entry fee, you will receive an email with the link to upload your story. 

Your story must be no longer than 250 words in length.   All entries must be received by May 31st, 2023.

You may enter more than once, however, you will need to pay a new entry fee for each consecutive submission.
