The Fifth Annual NANO Prize, awarding publication and $500 to a previously unpublished work of fiction 300 words or fewer, is now open! All entrants will receive a one year subscription to NANO Fiction and winners will be announced in September.

This year’s contest will be judged by Sean Lovelace.

The entry fee is $15 for up to three shorts. Please visit our submission manager to enter.
