Competition
"The Farnham Flash Fiction International Competition invites aspiring writers from around the world to submit their stories. Participants are challenged to create a compelling narrative in 500 words or less, with the opportunity to win cash prizes and publication in an annual anthology.
Part of the Farnham Literary Festival 2025
Farnham Flash Fiction International Competitions since 2018
Farnham Flash Fiction started in 2018 as part of the Flash Flash Festival, a 30-day event featuring performances, songs, and arts in Farnham, a picturesque Regency town on the edge of the Surrey Hills in the United Kingdom.
The competition is both local and international. Each year, there is a special prize for stories featuring Farnham, as well as a competition open to international entries.
There are three prizes of £100, £25, and £25.
The judge is a leading author based in Farnham. The judging panel includes prominent writers, authors, and readers from Surrey, UK, and its surrounding areas. Past judges have included Joanne Barnard and Ann Rainbow.
The competition is organized by Sally Dickson, a member of Farnham Town Council and Chairperson of the Hogs Back Writers. She also writes SF thrillers under the pen name Sally Ann Melia.
Councillor Sally Dickson
On May the 7th, I was elected to West Surrey Shadow Authority, a huge step up from my current role on Farnham Town Council.
As I get to grips with this new responsibility, and I still work full time, I am postponing the July competition. Entries I have already received can be added to the February 2027 competition.
Thanks for all your support, see you next year, wish me luck for the months ahead.
