My 2023 Christmas Contest - bring your best short story to win great prizes!
The banner I had made for my first Christmas contest

Santa, Elves, and Reindeer Contest
Give me your best Christmas Story!


Welcome to my Christmas Contest! The rules are simple:

*Ornament3R* Short stories only, no poetry, lyrics, or novel chapters

*Ornament3G* Word count limits: 500 - 1,500 words. Please put your word count at the beginning or end of your submission

*Ornament3R* Post one entry per person, in bitem format. If you don't know how to post this way, follow this example {bitem: itemID} - but omit the space.

*Ornament3G* Any genre is acceptable except erotica. This contest is not only for "traditional" Christmas stories! You story can be traditional, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery.... you name it and I'll accept it and read it!

*Ornament3R* . Please make sure you rate appropriately.

*Ornament3G*. Any Christmas story is acceptable,as long as it contains - you guessed it - Santa, Elves, or Reindeer, and it should be written newly for this contest.

*Ornament3R* You may edit your entry after entering the contest, but I may not see your edit. I will read entries as they come in. Please leave your entry in your port until January 10, 2024 to ensure I can judge it.

This contest will run from December 5th to 11:59 WDC time on December 30th, 2023
