Wow. It’s been way too long since I wrote a new contest announcement!
The writing prompt for this contest is:
This is a 150 word contest, and the prompt sentence must be first line of your entry. You can’t add or subtract words from the prompt sentence.
Think of your entry as being the opening 150 words of a story. You’re not trying to tell an entire story in 150 words, you’re trying to do the same thing that the opening paragraph of a novel would do.
Your entry is due Monday, July 29th, 2013 by 11:59 pm central time and must be submitted using the Google form below.
This contest is for writers ages 21 and under, and each writer is allowed only one entry.
The judges will be using this form to evaluate entries. All writers who enter will receive feedback.
The judge’s this round are:
