This Writing Contest is more of just a contest ... its more of a like a league. One will be held every month and a winner will decided every month. If I can find someone who can make tags, which I will ... you will be given a tag with your user name on it that says something about winning for a month. This contest will start at the beginning of every month.
Each week you will submit one piece of work. Your entry can be a poem, a song or a short story (Nothing over a page or two). You will be marked by 3 judges, one of which is myself and the other two will be revealed later (they are already chosen ... but they don't know it yet.).
You will be marked out in three different areas by each judge. These areas are: Content (5 marks) , Flow (5 marks) and Overall Impression (5 Marks).
Content, is the piece of work something original or is the idea stolen, does it create something new or is it the same thing that we see 20 times a day. Is there substance in this piece of work? or is it just a bunch of words. All those goes into your mark for this one
Flow is just the technical aspects of your piece of work, does it have tons of grammar/spelling mistakes, do the words seem out of place and all those kinds of things fall into this category.
Overall is just the impression left on us, the judges, its not whether we liked it or not, but more of, did it make a point, did it stir emotion in us, that kind of thing.
After the judges judge each piece of work, I will update the scores and whoever has the most points at the end of the "league" wins ... its pretty simple, eh?
In the next "league", depending on how this works out, there might be one for each form of writing. Anyways, sign up now because the last day for sign ups is February 25th 2007
Also, please note that any pieces of work submitted must be new works and cannot have been posted on the forums already.
When will we have a longer one...my stories are anything but a page :?irmeleeman5995
By a page I meant a short story, nothing ridculious (sp?). As for a longer one, once we get this contest underway, we will create one based on longer stories.
I'm in, writing poems will be interesting. I hopefully short writings of thoughts that aren't stories but pertain to a specific theme or subject count as submittable writings.
Just a note, I will be allowing signups to continue until February 25th, at that point, I will be setting everything up for people to post their work for week one.
Hi i'm new to the group, having recently discovered it, and looking forward to getting to know you all, and was wondering if it was too late to be included in the contest? If so I understand, as I just missed the signup date, and i'll look forward to the next opportunity if thats the case. Thanks.
