"The essential challenge of Friday Flash Fiction is to write a fresh new story or poem in time for publication that following Friday."
THE ANDREW SIDERIUS MEMORIAL COMPETITION 2023
SUBMISSIONS/ENTRIES
|
Andrew Siderius (1978-2020) was the son of one of our regular Friday Flash Fiction Californian contributors, Janice Siderius, and nephew of Debi Shrimplin. A keen sportsman, traveller and foodie, Andrew died of neuroendocrine cancer early in 2020, leaving a wife and two children in addition to a wider family.
Each year around this time, Janice donates a sum of money to fund prizes in Andrew's memory. It's the one competition in the year when we run contests in all three of our categories. The prizes are: £50 for the Classic 100-word contest; and £25 for each of the longer flash and short poetry contests. You may submit one entry in each category. Entry is free, and entries close on Friday 31st March 2023. |
