The number of people submitting fiction to magazine contests can fluctuate a lot. It depends on factors like the genre of the contest, the prize offered, and how well it's promoted.
You can start by checking writing magazines and websites. Many of them regularly announce short story contests for fiction. For example, 'Writer's Digest' often has such contests. Also, literary blogs are a good source. They might feature upcoming contests or share experiences of previous ones.
There were various fiction contests in May 2018. Some were focused on specific genres like romance or mystery, while others were open to all types of fiction.
