The University of Iowa is hosting its annual Alumni and Friends Flash Writing Contest—a timed, online
short story competition. We’ll provide you with a writing prompt that includes a genre, character, and a specific object to incorporate into your story. You’ll have 48 hours and up to 1,000 words to come up with the rest.
