"Balance"
Our beloved earth is facing incredible environmental challenges. As individuals, groups and governments move toward solutions, we long for clear thinking, acceptance of basic human needs, and a commitment to maintaining a delicate balance. We cannot have solutions that create even more problems!
This contest is timed to end just before for Earth Day. As writers, we can celebrate our beautiful blue-green world, imagine solutions, grieve losses or express ourselves in a myriad of ways. As we write our stories this Earth Day, let’s keep in mind the concept of balance – for ourselves, our leaders, and our shared global world.
We invite you to experience Earth Day this year by writing a flash fiction story of 350 words or less.
Ensure your submission follows these rules:
- Correct length (350 words or less)
- Correct spelling and grammar
- Family-friendly content
Be sure and include a reference to environmental balance.
Become your own best editor! Make sure you have followed all our basic rules, and checked your story against our list of common errors before you submit. Once you submit, you can track the status of your story with our new descriptive entry status images.
Lists of basic rules, common writing errors and entry status images can all be found here:
