 , where your item’s numbers would replace the #s. If you lack the space in your portfolio to do this, email me and let me know and either myself or one of my judges will host the item for you.4. All items must be SHORT STORIES. No poetry, please. It's not that I dislike poetry, it's that I don't consider myself knowlegeable enough to accurately judge the quality of poetic submissions.

If there's a tie, there will be an additional award. I refuse to penalize folks for quality work. 2. If there's less than 5 participants, I will award each person 1,000 gps for their time and effort. NOTE: Please allow several days to a week for judging and the announcement of the winners.  DONATIONS Since this is a contest supporting another contest, I have 2 categories for donations. 1.

If you wish your donation to help boost rewards for this contest, please donate directly to my group: "Evil Judges Group" (That's group #1220888)Thanks!  GUIDELINES I believe that it's safe to say that every one of us has had a moment where our teacher (be it english, math, science, history, etc) has looked at us and asked, "And where's your homework?" Short of saying something like, "My dog ate it," or a mumbled, "I don't know ..." this contest will be geared towards rewarding the best, most creative excuse for a missing piece of homework. Let that muse out of the closet and get to thinking (and writing!) about how you're going to explain to your teacher why you're not turning in your homework. Make me laugh or make me cry, but all entries will be graded in each of the following areas: 1. Setting: Could you see it? Did the author use all the senses? 2. Character Development: How did the characters grow throughout the chapter? How believable are they? 3. Historical Referencing: Do the clothes, hairstyles, language, actions, etc... match with the time period—this includes current day—of the setting? 4. Plot: Did it leave you asking the right questions or were you totally lost? 5. Grammatical: Are there any consistent grammar or spelling errors the author should be aware of? 6. General: Talk about any other areas where there is room for improvement: POV, descriptions, dialogue, format, etc... NOTE: All entries will receive a public review by each of the judges, in each of these areas.  JUDGES Your judges for this contest are: KC under the midnight sun   Tileira Budroe strider7901  GOOD LUCK!! |
