Competition: Your Story
Run By: Writers Digest
Genre: short story
Prize: published
Deadline: 10th July 2010
Every other month, Writer's Digest presents a creative challenge for fun and prizes. We'll provide a short, open-ended prompt. In turn, you'll submit a short story of 750 words or fewer based on that prompt. You can be funny, poignant, witty, etc.; it is, after all, your story. The winner will receive publication in an upcoming issue of Writer's Digest.
The Rules
- Judging criteria are inventiveness, creativity and—where appropriate—humor.
- One entry per person.
- WD retains first-time rights to run the winner (and finalists) in the magazine and/or on our website, after which all rights return to the author.
- WD editors will select the top five entries and post them on our Writer's Forum. Readers will vote on their favorite to determine the winner. (Remember, you must be a registered member of the Writer's Digest forum to read and vote in this competition.)
- The decisions of its editors are final.
