The Flash Fiction Slam is back! Last year’s first ever contest was so much fun that we decided to do it again. Join us for a fun and exciting event filled with live readings of short fiction, which is sure to delight and entertain. The contest will feature eleven (11) writers who compete for the title of The Flash, reading their own original fiction that must tell a complete tale in under 3-minutes.

RULES:

Readings are scored on a scale of 1 to 10, and you automatically lose 1 point for going over your 3-minute limit. Contestants can only read his/her own work. The reader with the top score wins!
