The Flash Fiction Challenge 2011 is an international creative writing competition, now in it's 4th year, that challenges participants to create original stories (1,000 words max.) based on genre, location, and object assignments.  The competition was named the Creative Writing Championships in the 2008 and 2009 competitions.
