BioShock Infinite Creative Writing Contest
To celebrate the release of BioShock Infinite, we're having a creative writing contest for a chance to win an Elizabeth figure!
Your task is to research Columbia--as well as some of the lore surrounding the world of BioShock--and craft a short story in that setting. Your story should feature characters and events from the game.
To participate, create a blog on GameSpot that contains the following:
- Write a BioShock inspired short story that takes place in the setting of Columbia.
- The story must be a minimum of 500 words in length.
- Include an image to act as a "cover shot" for your entry.
- Have a footnote in your blog entry to indicate that it is for the BioShock Infinite creative writing contest.
