\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThree-Minute Fiction Slam is a fast-paced literary competition that challenges writers to perform original pieces of fiction in three minutes or less in front of a panel of judges. Each year, the competition begins in regions throughout the state. Each regional winner competes in the final competition. The prize for the winner is $250; second and third place finalists will receive a NHWP workshop of their choice.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Here is what you can expect from a Three-Minute Fiction Slam contest:<\/p>

  • The host welcomes the audience and writers and offers a general overview of the evening.<\/li>
  • Writers take turns presenting original flash fiction pieces of no more than three minutes in length when read aloud.<\/li>
  • After each writer is done, judges give (very brief) verbal feedback and secretly record a numeric score out of five. One point overall will be deducted if an author goes over the allotted three minutes.<\/li>
  • The judges keep a private score for each piece. At the end of the night, the contestant with the highest score wins. In the event of a tie, the audience selects the winner through an \u201cApplause-O-Meter\u201d test as determined by the judges.<\/li>
  • Regional winners are invited to participate in the Three-Minute Fiction Slam state finals. If they cannot attend, then the runner-up will be sent.<\/li>
  • Past winners have performed their works for the Business in the Arts Awards Ceremony, the Currier Museum, and on-air at NHPR.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Regional contests are produced by Writers\u2019 Night Out hosts, educational institutions, libraries, or otherwise interested volunteers. Producers do three things prior to an event.<\/p>

    • First, they select and book a venue between now and early March. Pubs, coffee shops, rock clubs, and restaurants have all hosted events in the past.<\/li>
    • Second, the producer acts as contact for registration. The regional competition is limited to 10 participants, so a waiting list may need to be maintained in case someone gets cold feet.<\/li>
    • Third, the host selects three judges.<\/li><\/ul>
