All right folks, it is time to run another Short Story Competition. The first one was highly successful with 86 entries and voting rounds that went for almost 2 months.
This time, however, instead of 500 words you will be able to use 1,000. The rest of the rules are the same as you can read below.
The Rules
- The deadline for the submission is the 4th of January 2009 (midnight). Submissions must be made via email to infoATdailywritingtips.com
- Send your story either in the body of the email, or as a .doc attachment
- The stories must be in English, original, and must not have been published in the past
- Your story must have 1,000 words or fewer. All topics and formats are allowed.
- By taking part on the competition you allow DWT to publish your story online one time. After that we will not hold any publishing rights over the material
- All the stories will be published on the blog in January and February 2009, and voting rounds will take place
- The two stories with the highest number of votes will win the prizes
The Prizes
The competition will be sponsored by WhiteSmoke. It will offer 2 full licenses to the executive edition of its writing software (with a value of $310 each).
If you are interested in offering another prize to this competition in exchange for some exposure, please contact us.
So what are you waiting for? Write on!
Profanity ok?
Nah! Too soon after NaNoWriMo.
So … all rights revert to the author on March 1, 2009?
I’m in.
@Bill, that is correct.
@Chris, for someone who did NaNoWriMo, a 1000 word story should be a walk in the park 🙂
Just sent mine in!
Can we submit more than one story? I have one done and one in progress and would like to send both…
@JD, only 1 per person.
@Daniel
So true! However, I have two previous outstanding WIPs yet to be finished and a group of people who are anxiously awaiting one of those books to be finished. Too many irons in the fire as they say.
Happy Holidays!!
Chris
Oooo fun!!! Just sent mine in!!!
is this country specific?i’m from india.can i participate?
Hey i was wondering. For the email adress we send it to is it:
[email protected] ?
because it says infoATdailywritingtips.com and i just wanted to make sure i sent it to the right email adress
Do we get a confirmation email once you have received our story?
Do we receive a confirmation email once our story has been sent in?
i was not able to send my story on infoATdailywritingtips.com so i sent it to [email protected]… can i receive a confirmation for the mail sent..???
I didn’t get a confirmation when mine was sent either. I tried to send an email asking if they got it, but I didn’t get an answer. When do you plan to post the stories for voting?
Are there any more competitions? I’m new to this site, and I’ve missed the first two…
What is the difference between “SO MUCH” AND “VERY MUCH”?
I can’t send my competition entry via email, because the address ‘infodailywritingtips.com’ is not a valid email address. How can I send my competition entry? Please tell me!
Hi. Is this site still active? Two competitions listed as active say “submit by January 2009”
