The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (BLFC) is a tongue-in-cheek contest, held annually and sponsored by the English Department of San Jose State University in San Jose, California. Entrants are invited "to compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels" – that is, one which is deliberately bad. According to the official rules, the prize for winning the contest is "a pittance". The 2008 winner received $250, while the 2014 winners' page said the grand prize winner received "about $150".

- Tenu régulièrement chaque année à la même date, le Bulwer–Lytton Fiction Contest est une compétition satirique organisée par le département d'anglais de l'université d'État de San José (Californie) qui vise à récompenser la pire première phrase d'un roman ou d'une nouvelle ; le concours doit son nom à l'écrivain Edward Bulwer-Lytton qui commença son roman (1830) avec une longue phrase alambiquée débutant par « It was a dark and stormy night » (qui peut se traduire par « c'était par une sombre nuit d'orage… »), formule devenue depuis un célèbre cliché du genre mélodramatique et abondamment parodiée, notamment avec les ambitions littéraires de Snoopy dans Peanuts.
