2009 Contest: The Newport Review Flash Fiction Contest

The 2009 Flash Fiction Contest will open for entries on June 1, 2009. Stories will be considered from June through the postmark deadline of September 1, 2009. This year's guest judge will be announced.
We are looking for works that are short in length but linger long in memory: small stories that pack a big emotional punch and make creative use of language.
Please note that this year, we are accepting slightly longer stories, up to a maximum of 1,000 words.

Deadline: Postmarked by September 1, 2009
Word Count: Short-short stories up to 1,000 words
