I love participating in contests especially those related to writing anything. I haven't participated in a lot of them here, but I have been in on a few and even becoming a part of a contest is a great feeling for me. I have been meaning to start my own contest for sometime but somehow I kept falling short of fulfilling this goal. Last night while trying to sleep, I decided that I won't delay it any further and tomorrow, I will start the contest I have been meaning to for some time so here I am with it.
The Contest
The contest is quite simple. You have to write a story, essay or anything that you can think of ranging between 500 to 1000 words. It must have the following prompt used anywhere within the written piece and it must also follow the theme for the week. Here is the prompt and the theme for this week's contest:
Prompt: Every night in my dreams... (You can use it in the start, middle or end of a sentence.)
Theme: Thriller and Suspense
Since I plan to make this contest a weekly thing, I will be using the funny, romantic and other themes hopefully in the contests to come in the future. I do hope this one is received well by the community here so I can carry on with it.
Rules
There are a few rules that you need to follow to be eligible for participating in the contest:
- The story/ written piece must be within 500 to 1000 words and must have the prompt used in it, and it must also comply with the given theme.
-The written piece must be your own creation. I will check all the articles for plagiarism and any sort of plagiarism if found will be reported to @steemcleaners.
-There is no compulsion for you to upvote this post. If you do upvote it, I'll be happy but even if you don't upvote it, it is perfectly fine. :) See I am still smiling.
-Do resteem this post so it gains more visibility and helps more people join on this challenge.
-Title the post 'Shary's Writing Prompt Contest #1' followed by whatever title you wish to give to your story.
-Make a post on the story and submit its link in the comments below.
-Make sure to post it by 1 next Friday i.e. 23rd February, 2019.
I will start the judging on Saturday and post results on the same day or a day later if I receive a lot of entries.
The Prize
The winner of the contest will win a prize of 5SBDs from me and 2 to 3 honorable mentions will receive 1SBD each. If this post does well and makes over $30, I'll add more SBD to the prize pool.
So guys, get started with it, get your creative juices flowing and produce some exciting stories. And oh yeah, one entry per person is allowed. :) I wish you all GOOD LUCK!!
Love and light,
Sharoon.
