NEW AGAIN Short Story Contest How many stories are sitting in your portfolio that have been read, reviewed and edited to perfection? Those OLD STORIES that have been entered in other contests but didn't win anything--you corrected them, you followed the suggestions of the reviews but now what? Most contests require new stories written just for them--what a shame because that OLD STORY is so good now. Don't you wish you could enter them into a contest? Well, now you can ![]() So, pick out your best story and give it new life Here's How THE RULES 1. Submit your entries in bitem form
2. No stories that have an awardicon of any kind. 3. Any genre, any rating, word count your choice. Please state your word count. 4. Only one entry per round. Not one story per genre--ONLY ONE ENTRY per round. Thanks. 5. Stories will be judged against similar genres--Mystery stories will be judged against other mystery stories and so on. If, by chance there is only one entry in a particular genre then obviously, it would not be fair to give it first place just because there is no competition. So, if only one or two entries that genre will be eliminated for that round. You would need to pass the word and entice your friends to enter their stories to qualify for the next round of judging. The more stories the better. AMENDMENT: On the second round this will be changed. Trying to fit stories into genre's to be judge against similar genre stories was extremely difficult, mostly before the author didn't list what the story was--Static Item: Contest Entry: Fiction--does little to place the story into the right category. SO this round and all rounds to follow--stories will be simply BEST STORIES and there will only be three winners instead of winners in different genre's. Best Story First Place, Best Story Second Place and Best Story Third Place 6. No Book Chapters 7. No New Stories--these should be old stories that are well reviewed and rated. 8. Once Posted--NO EDITING, no changes to the story once you have posted it for the contest. These stories should already be perfect. Entries Judged On: 1. Character Development 2. Creative Story-lines No need to mention grammer, spelling and all that because these are stories that have been well reviewed-RIGHT! PRIZES 1. First Place in each Genre: RED Ribbon 2. Second Place in each Genre: Blue Ribbon 3. Third Place in each Genre: Green Ribbon DEADLINE 1. First Round:February15th, 2012 2. Second Round: March 1st, 2012--only stories created before 2011 are accepted 3. Third Round: 4. Fourth Round: DONATIONS: All Donations Are Appreciated There is no group # to make donations. This is not a group. You do not have to join in order to participate. If you wish to donate simply give a review of the contest and include your GP's at that time. Thank you. |
