This contest will happen every other month. The next contest will be in August.
***It is improtant you re-read this as some changes have been made to the contest***
[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.
Following my realisation one of the groups of which you were to be judged on seemed too similar to another, I have changed them. The goal of your writing is to be original and creative. You will also be judged on your writing skills.
Originality ~ Be different, be unique. Try writing something that you normally wouldn't think of.
Creativity ~ Description, Dialogue, Unique Characters etc.
Writing Skills ~ Grammar, Punctuation etc.
Each one will be judged with a score out of 5.
[Winning And Participating]
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.
Out of the top three pieces, members will be able to vote on their favourite. The piece that gets the most votes will be in the following months newsletter with a mini-interview from the member.
[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 90. [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 two things just to make sure someone can find something to write about. You can include both or just one but remember you can't write a song if you're using the song as the given thing.
