Small. Brightly colored. Deadly to the touch.
The Blue Frog
What is The Blue Frog?
Born out of celebration for our first birthday, The Blue Frog is Flash Frog’s annual flash fiction contest. Each year the contest, which runs for the month of January, features a theme based on what type of stories we would have liked to have seen more of in the past year. The Blue Frog awards a total of $700 in prize money as well as signed books and original art!
