So, in part two of my ‘getting the Writing community more active’ drive, I’m going to start a writing competition for anybody who wants to to enter. Basically, it involves any member of this forum posting their writing in this thread, for judging by me and a vote from everybody else.
The writing itself can be of any style whatsoever, and can be written in any combination of tense and person. The only restriction is that it can be no longer than 3,000 words, or about 6 pages in a Microsoft Word document at size 12 font. When you are happy with what you’re going to submit, please post it in this thread, so everybody else can read it.
The way that you’re going to be marked is that each story is going to be judged and reviewed by me, and there will also be a poll running for people to register their votes. In each situation, the best story will get the top marks available (so if there are eight pieces of writing, the winner of the poll will get eight points), and the worse story will always get one point. For example, if somebody wrote a story called ‘Me and my Box’, and I judged it to be the worse, it would get one point. But if the voters all thought it the best out of five entries, the story would get five points from them. Therefore, the overall score would be six. The story with the highest amount of points wins.
So there it is, explained for you. Now all we need are some entries for judging and voting on. There is an unlimited number of places, and you have until Wednesday 7th October to make your entries by posting in the thread. They will then be judged by Friday, with the vote results coming out then also. First, second and third places will all get trophies, made by me.
So without further ado, submit your writing!
