EASST/4S 2024: Short Story, Flash Fiction, and Poetry Competition
Organised by Michela Cozza (Mälardalen University), Nina Klimburg-Witjes (University of Vienna) & Sally Wyatt (Maastricht University)
We want to build on the success of the first-ever creative writing competition held in conjunction with the EASST conference in Madrid in July 2022. For a description and the winning entries see Michela Cozza, Nina Klimburg Witjes and Sally Wyatt “First-ever poetry, flash fiction and short story competition”, in EASST Review 42(2), 2022.
We are holding a second short story, flash fiction, and poetry competition for conference participants. Winners will be announced during the conference (date and time to be confirmed at a later stage). There will be prizes. Winning entries will be published in the conference issue of the EASST Review later in 2024.
