Iron Pen & Iron Artist

Welcome to Furry Migration’s tests of authorial & artistic mettle, “Iron Pen” & "Iron Artist". These annual contests pit the would-be writer and/or artist against the clock to create an original piece of flash fiction or art in a ridiculously short period of time!

Please note: We are looking into have a Iron Pen and Iron Artist competition at Furry Migration in 2023. While we do not have updated information to share at this time, we will update this page with the latest details as soon as possible. Any information below is from Furry Migration 2022 and is provided to give you an idea of what we may offer in 2023.

Welcome to Furry Migration’s tests of authorial & artistic mettle, “Iron Pen” & “Iron Artist”. These annual contests pit the writer and/or artist against the clock to create an original piece of flash fiction or art in a ridiculously short period of time!

Your work must:

  • Be no longer than 1,000 words for Iron Pen text (story or poetry) or larger than the equivalent of one 8-1/2 inch by 11 inch page for an Iron Artist image

  • Include either the concept of “Migration” or a “native Minnesota species” of anthro, and

  • Include the “secret ingredient” in a prominent way.

    This year’s secret ingredient is DISCO FANTASY.
