This year, I am doing a Fall themed Back to School Contest to try and include as many authors as possible. Your submissions should be about a character whom is TGLIB (Trans, Gay, Lesbian, Intersexed, or Bi) attending school. This can be elementary school, middle school, high school, or college. The plot should involve a transition of the character from before transition to TGLIB. Other than that, everything else is all yours to create. Length of submission - any size, all entries must be brand new material never published before anywhere. Any number of submissions may be entered, but only one, from any author, may place as a winner.
Contest Prizes are as follows: 1 x $100, 2 x $50, and 4 x $25!!
Prizes are subject to being raised before the end of the contest! Erin and I will reserve one 2nd place and two 3rd place prizes for our picks from newer authors that did not win from the popular vote. So new authors, rejoice, there are 2 ways to win and no reason not to try our contest out this year! Do not FORGET to properly label your submission(s) on the ++Fiction page using the contest box and select the label: TopShelf's Fall 2014 Back to School Contest! |
