The last decade's gone by in a flash for the organisers - 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of National Flash Fiction Day.

As part of the celebrations, today sees posters go up around the motu, starting a national 'Languages of Aotearoa' campaign.  

The winner of the annual Flash Fiction award will also be announced today.

And to set the scene, Lynn Freeman talks to organisers Vaughan Rapatahana and Michelle Elvy.

Incidentally, they've also launched a new call for submissions for a book of micros in translation, or with translingual elements.
