Flash Fiction Competition

The Bridport Prize (quote)
Flash fiction is a style of fictional literature of extreme brevity. There is no widely accepted definition of the length of the category. Some are as low as 250 words(such as ours), while others consider stories as long as a thousand words to be flash fiction.
Other names for flash fiction include sudden fiction, micro fiction, micro-story, short short, postcard fiction, though distinctions are sometimes drawn between some of these terms, ie, sometimes one thousand words is considered the cut-off between "flash fiction" and the slightly longer short story sudden fiction. The terms micro fiction and micro narrative are sometimes defined as below 30 words.
Flash fiction often contains the classic story elements, protagonist, conflict, obstacles or complications and resolution.  However unlike a traditional short story, the limited word length often forces some of these elements to remain unwritten, that is, hinted at or implied in the written storyline.
