A project of New Delta Review (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (November 2024). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

For the Flash Fiction contest, we are looking for tight narrative packages that grab us and won’t let go. For the Photography contest, we are looking for an equally narrative-driven series of images, one that is evocative and surprising; one that immerses us in an innovative story.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
