Rules

You may edit up to the deadline but not beyond. Any item edited after deadline will not be considered.

Plays/Script only: bare bones stage direction where the dialogue does the talking, not narrative description. Yes this means "The Dialogue 500: IT'S BACK, BABY!"  [18+] format is fine.

You may enter any length/size of item, but do be aware the judges will only read as much as they like to get a feel for your play. For a basic guide you may want to consider most one act plays are 10-15 pages in real life and/or five act plays (no matter how long) are okay to submit.

Judges are not required to give reviews, but most do

An item, for the terms of this contest, can be a book or a static item.

There is no prompt and pieces do not have to be newly written. However, they must not have been previously awarded at the time of entering.

Any genre, any rating welcome, but all items must be linked by ritem link in the forum post. "The illustrated guide to linking" .

Forum posts must be kept within the E rating or will be suspended/deleted. Titles and brief descriptions must be E as well "Please Keep It E!" .

One entry, per person, please.
