With a goal of involving those whose literary interests involve something other than poetry, the Literary Arts Program offers an opportunity for swashbucklers and wenches to tell their most piratical tales in hopes of seizing some treasure. Welcome to the first annual EAC Downeast Pirates Flash Fiction Contest.

​

We’ll be looking for short fictional narratives telling of piracy in port or on deserted islands or on the high seas or anywhere else you can imagine. Stories (up to 1200 words) must be set in Downeast Maine and come to a resolution at the end. They must feature at least one pirate as a central character.
