Short Story Challenge 2009
How long would it take you to write a creative, compelling short story? Could you do it in a week? How about 24 hours? There are three days left to register for the Short Story Challenge 2009, an international writing competition where writers race the clock and each other to compose magic. Writers are assigned the same genre–here’s hoping it’s romance!
HOW IT WORKS:
- Anyone may compete from anywhere in the world
- There are 2 rounds
- 1st Round (January 16-24, 2009) : Writers are placed randomly in heats. Each heat is assigned a genre and a subject (ex. comedy : competing lemonade stands or horror : a family reunion).
- Writers have 1 week to write an original short story (2,500 words max).
- Winners are chosen from the 1st Round to advance to the 2nd round and compete for thousands in cash and prizes.
- 2nd Round (March 13-14, 2009) : All of the writers receive the same genre and subject at midnight (EST time) and have just 24 hours to write an original short story.
- A panel of judges review the final round stories and winners are chosen!
I don’t think I’ll participate this year, but good luck to all who do!
