   The Jerboa Lit 500 is just over a month away!

For fans of weekend-long, timed writing contests like 24-hour playwriting competitions, the 48-Hour Film Festival, and yes, NYC Midnight: we’re a 48-hour, 500-word flash fiction competition open to writers of all ages from around the world. Entrants will receive a prompt that includes a genre, an item, and a short phrase (all randomly chosen from a hat), and will then have 48 hours to submit a story incorporating those elements into their piece. We have $2,200 in prizes to give out, including a $1,000 top prize, and we’d love for you to join us!

The prompt will be sent out just before midnight Central time (UTC-6) on January 17, 2025, and the 500-word story is due back to us on January 19. Excited? We are too! You can read about all of the contest details at our website, and sign up for the competition here: https://www.jerboalit.com/registration

It’s going to be a blast, and we can’t wait to read what you come up with!

—Hallie and David, the Jerboa Lit team
