Member-Sponsored Valentine’s Day Flash Fiction Contest

Details

To enter this contest, write a short story based on the theme of Valentine’s Day. It doesn’t even have to be a love story, as long as it prominently features Valentine’s Day in some way.

We will not accept erotica and stories written for children (though a story can certainly include children or even be a grown-up’s story told through a child’s eyes). However literary, romance, science fiction, fantasy, horror, historical, experimental, and more are all acceptable genres, just so long as Valentine’s Day is a central focus, as opposed to say, a story that just happens to be set on February 14 with no other real connection to Valentine’s Day.

Prize money for this contest is provided by the Scribophile Writing Contest Prize Fund.
