Thanks very much to TSS and this year’s editors for again compiling the list of fifty Best British and Irish Flash Fictions (BIFFY50) published online between August 2019 and May 2020. We are very happy at Bath Flash to nominate ‘Eight Spare Bullets’ by Sharon Telfer which won first prize in the February 2020 round of our Award and Valentine’ by Claire Powell, which was highly commended by judge Santino Prinzi. Read his comments on the stories in his judge’s report.

Our final story of the three nominations allowed is ‘The Wild West’ by Francis McCrickard which won second prize in the October 2019 Bath Flash Fiction Award judged by Nancy Stohlman and you can read her comments here.
The authors live in the UK and we think their stories are wonderful examples of flash fiction.
Very best wishes to them all.
