When Do We Want Them?

We are delighted to announce that the 2022 Hummingbird Flash Fiction Prize opens today!
Master of flash Bob Thurber is back in the judge’s seat. So send us your sleek, your sassy, your sparkling prose! Your sweet, your savoury, your spirited stories! Your strong, your stylish, your stunning tales! (Buuut, maybe go a little lighter on the adjectives — and exclamation marks — than I did!)
And remember, this contest comes with …
A $300 Top Prize!
… and publication in Pulp Literature Issue 37, Winter 2023! How’s that for flashtastic?
For a look at 2021’s high flyers, pick up a copy of Issue 33, Winter 2022. Or read an excerpt of last year’s winner, ‘The Art of Ironing’ by Natalie Harris-Spencer, and runner-up, ‘Out in the Sticks’ by Kevin Sandefur.
