SEGORA Vignette Competition

The vignette is a word-picture. It may be likened to the art expressed in a cameo or a miniature painting.

It can be insightful, poignant, exciting, amusing or shocking. It may encapsulate a moment of discovery,

or be a precise snapshot conveying something memorable to the reader about a character or an event.

The territory is somewhere between a poem and a short story.
