This is a reminder that the submission window for the 2022 National Flash Fiction Day Microfiction Competition<\/a> and for the eleventh annual National Flash Fiction Day Anthology<\/a> closes tomorrow, 15 February 2022, at 23:59 GMT.<\/p>\n

These are two separate projects run by two separate teams with two separate submissions processes.\u00a0 Here’s a reminder of what each is all about….<\/p>\n

NFFD Anthology<\/h3>\n

The theme of this year’s National Flash Fiction Day Anthology is FREEDOM<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What do you think of when you think of freedom<\/span>? Freedom<\/span> from, freedom<\/span> to do, freedom<\/span> to be?<\/p>\n

Does your mind go to prisons and zoos or to protest marches and politics or to leaving the office on a Friday, packing a bag and heading off on holiday? Or is it simply freedom<\/span> of thought? Or is it George Michael belting out that classic? But maybe you have a very different view of freedom;<\/span> go on, surprise us!<\/p>\n

Feel free to interpret FREEDOM<\/span><\/strong> however you wish, in 500 words<\/strong> or fewer.\u00a0 You do not need to include the word ‘freedom’ in your piece.<\/p>\n

This year, we are thrilled to announce that we will be awarding two Editor’s Choice Awards.\u00a0<\/strong> The 2022 editors, Karen Jones <\/strong>and Chris Drew<\/strong> will each select one piece from the accepted stories to receive a \u00a350 prize<\/strong>.\u00a0 Find out more about our editors here<\/a> and keep an eye on our news feed<\/a> for their interviews early next year.
