A weekly contest about overcoming the clichés. 1000 GP for 1st place.

Something About Cliché

Hello and welcome to my first attempt at a contest. I hope this takes off and I can put more into it. Please work with me and help make it a success!

Yes, the Rules

1. MUST FOLLOW PROMPT AND WORD COUNT (or be disqualified.)
2. Word count : 300-800 words. (I have a short attention... ooohhhh look a kitty)
3. Bitem format. {b-item:number of entry} (no spaces)
4. I dont care about grammar. But if I have a guest judge who does I will say so in the prompt, but if there is HUGE Duh type mistakes I will call you on it... use caution, just dont be sloppy. oh and I have spell check, I suggest you may want to use yours too... (remember Pete and Re-pete... and if you don't know this one, just ask)

This will be a weekly contest, run Sunday to Sunday so you have from 12:05am Sunday, then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night by 12:00 midnight to write, re-write, edit and polish, and get it in for it to count. (you may enter anytime during the week you piece is done but it will not count if it is in after 12:05 am WDC time Sunday Morning) I hope to have contest reviewed and judged by Monday morning at the latest, and new prompt will be posted by me or guest judge by 12:30AM WDC time Sunday Morning.

The Prizes
Since this is a first contest, Prizes will be::
1,000 GPs for first
500 for 2nd
100 for 3rd place.
As this contest grows and get more popular, these prizes will increase. Three entries for contest to be judged. If there are less then 3 entries, 100 gp for entering and no prizes will be awarded that week. Possibly a Merit badge for a monthly winner as funds allow.

Now on with the Show!
