New Short Story Contest – Cash Prizes and Publication!
Deadline: March 31, 2026
The PING Anthology Short Story Contest is now open for submissions! PING stands for Personal Inter-Consciousness Nuance Gauge. Our short story contest is around the theme of a futuristic app (called PING) that can tell you in real time how many people are thinking about you, and if they’re thinking about you with love or fear-related emotions. The Premium version can tell you the names of those who are thinking about you. We offer three cash prizes ($500/ $250/ $150), and the top 25 submissions will be published in our Anthology. Word count 1,000-3,000 words. Due March 31, 2026. the-ping-anthology.com
