SUMMER WRITING COMPETITION





Hello, Lovelies of Writing Home!

It's been a bit since our last Writing Competition, but we're finally here and getting to it!


What is a Writing Competition and how does it work?

A writing competition is as it sounds.
We will provide a prompt (as seen below) for those who wish to join.

Contestants will write a story, following the guidelines for this contest, and submit it by a deadline.
Our judges will go over all submitted work and decide, together, who they feel wrote the best story based on their prompt using a point based system.
(Judges are not part of the competition and are screened to ensure fair voting.)

Once a winner has been chosen, it will be announced publicly and they will receive their prize.
Also, once the winner has been chosen, all submitted entries will be available for viewing by the members of Writing Home.​
Rules of the 2022 Summer Writing Competition

◉● No stealing/using/submitting Copyrighted work. ●◉

◉● Do not submit work you submitted to prior competitions, even on other sites. ●◉

◉● Although we keep the judges a secret, if you figure out who they are, do not contact them about it. ●◉

◉● All work must be PG16. Violence/gore is fine, but limit anything overly graphic. ●◉

◉● Only one entry per user. ●◉

◉● Ensure your story follows the Prompt ●◉

◉● Site rules against forbidden topics still apply. ●◉​
Submission information

Unfortunately, as we wrap up July 31st, there have been no submissions.

For that reason, we are forced to cancel this writing competition.

True to our concerns, we are not yet large enough to hold successful writing competitions and will likely refrain from doing another until we have grown.

We thank everyone who wished to take part originally, but it seems the cards were not in this contest's favor.

Highly unfortunate. I had been working on a draft, but real life got in the way and I didn't want to rush it out, so I thought I'd concede this one. Shame- these are normally a blast!

It happens. We understand that life is more important. We'll just be patient and wait until the next. :)
