The Naked Convos recently opened its The Writer Competition, which has been run for 3 successful editions. Twelve finalists will be shortlisted from the qualification entry submissions based on the quality of their flash fiction. These writers will be mentored by the The Naked Convos judges and will contest in four rounds of the contest. Three contestants will be evicted every week through public voting.
At the end of the voting period, the panel of judges will evaluate the stories and score them using pre-communicated criteria. The votes from the audience and the votes from the judges will be tallied and used to determine the writers who will be eliminated until there is one writer standing.
The competition is open to everyone. There is no age, nationality or location restriction.
Simply send in your flash fiction, 300 words long maximum, in an email attachment, Microsoft Word format, to thewriter@thenakedconvos.com. There is no theme for the pre-qualification entry. Send your shortest and best piece. Include your full name, phone number and a valid e-mail address in your submission for continued correspondence.
