Please read the rules before submitting your entries! Any entries that don't follow the rules will NOT be judged. Thank you~
Quick note:
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having an awesome spring filled month. I know I’ve been constantly bringing up the idea of having contests, but never actually did any. I was actually just waiting for exams to be over and finally they are. Unfortuantly I WILL be gone for a while longer after this contest is posted due to medical reasons, but you guys will still have the two co-admins. This is going to be our first contest, so I hope everything goes as planned! Also, I still haven't exactly decided on what the first prize should be, but I will be putting up a poll to see what you guys might like. I can’t give you money unfortunately, remember, I’m a student! Haha.
Prompt/quote(s):
You will be using either of these prompt(s)/quote(s) in your entries. It doesn’t matter where, let it be the beginning, end, or somewhere in the middle of it all, as long as they’re there.
1)
“Do humans have a purpose when they are born? Because they're born, does that mean they have an important duty? The meaning of being born... for humans to find that answer… It is the one freedom god gave them.”
2)
“…in the end we cannot trust one another. If that is how humanity looks at the world, then we will have no future.”
Length:
Short story/essay: 500-2,000 words.
500 words are about a page and a half, so it’s not that much for a short story. Please don’t go over 2,000 words, I don’t have THAT much time on my hands, haha.
Poetry/songs: 100 - 300 words.
Script: 300 – 1,000 words.
Timeline:
Submission period: April 24th – May 8th.
That’s two weeks! I’m giving people a lot of time for a reason. So take your time to make your entry the best! Remember that the date may change to lengthen the time at any moment, but that doesn’t mean that you can slack off until the last minute~
Winners announced: June 9th.
This date can change at any time, depending on how much I can read at once. May I remind you that I’m getting eye surgery? Also I may not even participate as a judge in this first contest due to the surgery, it all depends, but I still want to, and will try my best to, so be patient with the big gap inbetween.
Ranks/prize(s):
1st place – Name and submission will be placed in the site’s ‘Hall of Fame’, and will receive their own journal whether they have 100 posts of not.
2nd place – Will receive a custom title, underneath their display name as the 2nd prize winner.
We’ll keep it at 2 ranks for now, since I know there won’t be many submissions for the first contest.
Thanks everyone and have fun!!
