After months of preparation from writers and judges alike, the team of Worcestershire LitFest and Fringe are delighted to announce the official shortlist for this year’s Flash Fiction competition.

Please note, the numbers that appear alongside the shortlisted works are how we identify the entries during the judging process:

Congratulations to our shortlisted writers and commiserations to those who did not make our shortlist this time around. There has been such a high standard of talent this year more so than ever so please do not be disheartened, and please do enter again next year!

Keep your eyes peeled in the coming days for our official announcement of who has ranked in the winning position for this year…
