Ad Hoc Fiction is our free to enter weekly mini competition. Running separately from our main Bath Flash Fiction Award, Ad Hoc is a winner takes all deal, selected by public vote. That means we publish your Ad Hoc piece along with all the other Ad Hocs so that people can vote on them.

Should you win at Ad Hoc Fiction, you’ll earn yourself a free entry to our main Bath Flash Fiction Award. Simply put, if the public decides you have the talent, you can take a shot at our £1400 in prizes. Free.

One clause: The piece that wins you Ad Hoc Fiction cannot be the same piece you submit to Bath Flash Fiction Award. You’ll have to write a new one.

You’ll find Ad Hoc on the top of page menu, or use this link.
