It's that time of Year Again - The Third Annual New Author Writing Contest Posted: 07 Mar 2011 03:09 PM PST Yes! That wonderful time of year is upon us. This is the call for the Third Annual New Author Writing Contest!! This contest has been a lot of fun the past two years and last year we saw some great poems and short stories in the line up. I believe the winner of the poetry division won by one vote. With that said, here is how it works: I will begin taking submissions today, March 7th until 8:00 est on April 1st. That should be plenty of time for you to dust off those poems and short stories or write up that new idea you have in mind. I will read all of them and narrow them down to the top three or five (depending on how many I get) short stories and poems. After I have selected I will notify those moving to the next round right here on the blog on April 4th. I have something special planned but I need to work out the kinks first. The selected stories and poems will then be read by a panel of judges; they will vote on the best short story and poem. The short story and the poem with the most votes will win. As for the rules; here we go: You are allowed to enter a total of 2 submissions. They can be a combination of short story and poem or 2 shorts or 2 poems. All short stories and poems must be your original work and you must have the rights to those works. Poems must be limited to one page with a minimum font size of 10. Short Stories must be a Max of 1500 words. Grammar and story structure will be a factor in the judging. Once a poem of short story is submitted to the Third Annual New Author Writing contest I ask that you do not submit it to another contest or publication until the contest has concluded. You can write about any topic and in any genre. What will you win? Well, I don't have that portion of the contest nailed down yet but I can tell you that it will be a cool prize package and this will be a lot of fun. Stay tuned for updates! If any of you would like to be a judge please leave me a comment with an e-mail so I can contact you. Also, if you have any questions feel free to leave those as well. One more thing - the winners will be announced on April 11th! Assinar: Postar comentários (Atom)   (c) Literature News WP theme by | Courtesy of Piercing, Converted to BLOGGER by BloggerThemes.Net
