This month’s Writing Maps Writing Contest is all about green things. Write a short story, flash fiction, poem or graphic story inspired by the colour green, or the word green. Make a creative list of green things. Think the green green grass of home, or the green of envy. Think fruit and veg, mojitos and a shot of blue-green algae. Healthy or additive-packed, fresh or mouldy. The green of newness. The green of the dollar. Green hills and green light to go.  Follow us on Twitter for regular #greenthings inspiration.

Deadline is 27th June 2015.

Winners of each monthly contest are published in The A3 Review, and will make up the shortlist to win cash prizes in August 2015. All winners receive Writing Maps and other goodies. You can read more about The A3 Review here. It’s a lit mag that behaves like a map. All contributions are under 151 words. The themes for the upcoming Writing Contests are:

• July: JOURNEYS, Deadline 25 July
