Well, here it is everyone! Literary Lounge’s first writing contest! In fact, it’s Literary Lounge’s first contest!
This contest will happen every other month. The next contest will be in January.
[Contest]
I’m going to give you an image, theme, song or poem and you have write a story, description, poem or song that has something to do with what I give you.
If I gave the theme of magic, you could write a story or description about a witch or wizard.
The goal of the contest is to be creative, original and unique. Your chances of winning will greatly increase if you can score those three points in your writing.
Creativity – How your written piece is written – description, use of humour, dialogue etc. (This depends on what your written piece is – story or a poem etc.)
Originality – How you define the image, theme, song or poem. Bend the boundaries.
Unique – Is your story going to be different to every other members story?
[Points]
Everyone who participates will receive points. Here are the points that you will receive:-
Winner – 24 Points
2nd Place – 18 Points
3rd Place – 12 Points
Participating – 6 Points
If you win and receive winning points, you will not receive participating points as well.
[Entering]
To enter, simply post your story, description, poem, or song in this thread. The judge(s) will judge and if there is a tie members will get to vote.
[Rules]
1. If I give you a poem to base your writing piece around you cannot enter a poem. The same applies for a song.
2. For stories and descriptions, the minimum word count is 70. [Note: Each contest will have the word count increased by ten until we reach a point in between 100 -150 words.]
3. You can have a maximum of three entries. You can edit and swap your entries for other entries up until the deadline.
4. Members can C&C on all the entries submitted. Please make it constructive: “It’s good” and “It’s sucks” are not allowed. “It’s good but your spelling needs some work” and comments similar to that are allowed.
5. Have Fun!
For this contest I'm going to give you three things just to make sure someone can find something to write about. You can include all three things or just one but remember you can't write a song if you're using the song as the given thing.
