Looking for 100 word flash fiction(drabbles) contests.
This is the list you need.
While the 100 word story is short to write though brevity should not be mistaken for ease.
On the other hand, being brief is an advantage as it makes it easy for you to edit over and over again to refine the beauty in it.
In this blog post, I have compiled a list of 100-word story competitions and challenges to which you can send your works and get a chance to win cash prizes as well as publication.
Take note that as I discover more contests I would add them to the list.
