Fantasy Drabble Contest 2026

Can YOU spin a fantastical tale, in EXACTLY 100 words?

No more, no less, Title Not Included: that's a DRABBLE! 

Whether it’s Epic, Urban, Cosy, or any other fantasy subgenre you love, whether it contains dragons or mermaids or devils getting stroppy with large rocks, your Drabble could win a prize and be read out as part of our poetry event - A Hive of Fantasy, on Friday 12 June. 

​

Good luck! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
