Writers' Forum Flash Fiction Contest Results

The Flash Fiction contest for October-November was based on the picture prompt given below. The word limit was 300-600 words.





The contest has ended, and the results are as follows:

Winner: 

Jude Gerald Lopez of III Semester BA English Copy Editor for his story A Drop of Liquid Hope

This was an obvious winner for capturing a dramatic moment in all its intensity. Jude shows a lot of promise as a storyteller with some real sociocultural and environmental concerns.  

There were two more entries which so impressed me for their narrative power that I had to think of ...

Honourable Mention :  

Mariam Henna of I Semester BA English Copy Editor for her evocative story Caged Dreams, which deals with how a fast and easy life affects three impulsive youngsters in a big city

and

Markus Sailor, international exchange student from Germany, for Violet Beach, the touching story of a wrongly punished young man from India and his poor family


Congratulations to all the winners! As promised, all the three stories will be featured in the blog.

Note:  The picture prompt is a painting (acrylic on canvas) by Prof.Shijo P Varghese, Department of English
