mnartists.org has extended their deadline for submissions for their What Light Poetry Project and miniStories flash fiction series.
You now have until Friday, May 15th to submit up to three short (maximum 50 lines or 300 words each) poems or up to three flash fiction (500 words or less) stories.
As a former judge for this contest, I know they do a fine job. It’s competitive, but accessible, and if you do good work, you have a chance.
There are also readings associated with the contest that will give you the opportunity to do some community building.

Good luck!
