Welcome to the First Eyelands International Flash Fiction contest! We’re looking for short stories, of 500 words maximum in any genre on the theme of “Dreams”.

Seven years since the beginning of our annual international short story competition, which is the only international short story contest based in Greece, we decided to run a second international contest for short fiction. We hope it will be as successful as our first one and gain also the same respect and recognition on an international level plus giving the opportunity for more writers to see their work published in Greek and enjoy a holiday in Crete!
