The Danbury Cultural Commission has begun the annual literary contest. Submissions of flash fiction are being accepted until March 13, 2023.
The Danbury Cultural Commission invites Danbury students in grades 9 through 12 to enter our Flash Fiction Contest. The contest is also open to any writers who do not formally attend a high school but are between the ages of 14 through 18. Any high school aged student may enter, but a student must have a social security number filed with the City of Danbury to receive a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place cash prize.
The entries must be Flash Fiction from 500 to 1000 words, school-appropriate language and subject matter are required. No more than two Flash Fiction works per author should be submitted, and Flash Fiction in non-English must have a written English translation. Entries will be anonymized then judged, with prizes awarded in May. Students of winning submissions must be prepared to read the story aloud and then give a brief (50 word) description of their inspiration for it. All entries may be published by the Cultural Commission.
