It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Is on June 15th and includes the Flash Flood where a new flash is posted every few minutes for 24 hours. You can submit up to three pieces 500 words or fewer and it is free (and no pay of course!!) BUT you can sub previously published pieces so if you would maybe like one of your old OWC entries to get another outing why not have a go? Response is very quick.

Each of the last 2 years I succeeded on my third attempt.
I'm sure all of your stories are good, but each judge will have likes and dislikes and be looking for a particular thing. They will have loads sent in and can't pick them all even if they are all good. It's just one person's opinion.
