A Picture Worth A Thousand Words Story Competition

We've once again reached that exciting time of year everyone’s been anxiously anticipating – Stories Space Competition time.

Competition Theme

After months of deliberation, we could not come up with a theme that’s both interesting and well-suited to this time of year, so we've opted for something a little different this time around. The theme for this competition is quite simple – look at the picture prompts posted here - Picture Prompt 1 or Picture Prompt 2 - choose one that inspires you most and write about whatever it inspires. ~Only the following categories are eligible for entry into the competition – Poetry, Micro Fiction, Flash Fiction and Songs. ~Maximum word count per entry is 1000 words. ~Maximum of two entries allowed per entrant. ~State very clearly which picture prompt you are using in the “One Liner” section of our submissions page. ~Keywords: flutter, brambles, dusky - each entrant needs to use at least two of the keywords in their entry
