I discovered mnartists.org through ministories, which I have now been lucky enough to co-judge twice:
"miniStories is a quarterly flash fiction competition coordinated by Electric Arc Radio's Geoff Herbach (author of newly released novel, The Miracle Letters of T. Rimburg, published by Three Rivers Press). This new literary series showcases previously unpublished short stories by Minnesota writers which are selected by authors, editors, and publishing industry veterans from across the country. Winning stories will be published on mnartists.org and in the e-magazine access+ENGAGE."
