Read all about our Great Festival Throw contest below! We hope you will buy a ticket to be in with a chance to win a prize each month.

-
Following the pottery theme, for our monthly contest this series, judges will offer ‘Throw Down’ writing challenges, based on the pictures of famous paintings on the mugs in the picture here. They will be looking for colourful, emotional stories that may move them to tears. Or make them feel other emotions. Many of the best flash fictions work so well because of their emotional resonance. That’s how connection happens between writer and reader.
Participants who come to the festival will have first draft writing time in the session, after the challenge is set. And a week to complete their story. Results will be announced two weeks later on a blog post on this website.
Prizes.
The winner each month will receive £30 cash prize,a free entry to Bath Flash Fiction Award and the mug with the painting that inspired their story! In addition the story will be published in the fifth festival anthology, sponsored and published by Ad Hoc Fiction.
Runners up will receive a free entry to Bath Flash Fiction Award and a book published by Ad Hoc Fiction plus publication in the anthology.
