Collect 2026 Write-In Badges

Just to make things a little more fun, we have a set of virtual badges that you can download if you finish each prompt, and a few more that you can find when you explore other National Flash Fiction Day activities.

If you complete one of the prompts, you are welcome to download and display your badge, whether or not you submit and/or publish your response with us. These are all honour-system badges; download each badge you earn and feel free to keep for yourself or share online.  

Although you only have until 23:59 BST on Sunday 14 June 2026 to submit work to this year's Write-In for publication with us, you have ALL YEAR to collect all the badges.  The links will disappear in June 2027 when we rejig the site for the 2027 writing prompts.
