Does the competition allow for excerpts from longer works (provided they adhere to the word count limit), or must entries be fully self-contained?
Dana Casper
As long as the excerpt is complete in itself you are welcome to submit it. It would be hard to compare a complete story against an excert that, while well written, has the reader baffled as to what is going on. A good example of flash fiction is http://www.365tomorrows.com. Their guidelines are pretty good too. For the short story category, simply expand.
If you have more questions, feel free to email me directly: danac@spocon.org.

Any word on who the winner was? I'm afraid I wasn't able to attend the convention due to previous arrangements.
Dana Casper
Ahh, yes! There were four winners. I will ask their permission to post names on the forum and website this week. Sorry for the delay! Been catching up at work.

Just wondering if anything came of this.
Cheers!

Sorry for the delay. As yet I haven't heard from anyone. We are, however, moving forward so I'll find a work around. =) I hope you are planning on participating this year!
