Flash fiction competition
Bite-sized Enlightenment
Entry ages: 14+
Start date: Saturday 8 August 2015
Closing date: Saturday 19 September 2015
Details: Some of the greatest philosophical minds in history formed their ideas about the world after flashes of inspiration. Now we’re looking for your flashes of inspiration! We want fiction that’ll make you think. More than that, we want fiction that’ll make you think in just a handful of words. If you think you can sum up the meaning of life, and tell a good story to boot, then why not submit a piece to our Bite-sized Enlightenment competition?
Need a bit of help sharpening your literary skills?
Come and take part in our Flash Fiction workshop with David Gaffney and Sarah-Clare Conlon, prize-winning author and masters of the art. Taking place at Number One Riverside, on 12 September from 11am to 1pm, this is just one of our festival lead-in events.

As part of the Flash Philosophy event, the winning entry will be performed alongside acclaimed flash fiction writers, including our judge, David Gaffney, author of several books including More Sawn Off Tales.
