This is an unofficial blog announcing the contest. I'm throwing this up tonight so everyone has a chance to think about it. The basic requirements are that it is a story of Love or Loss for Valentine's Day. I'm giving the option as I'm open to both types. The cash prizes will total between $400- $500. The payout will be on March 3.
This contest will not be voted on. I and one other person will grade them on appeal to the reader, characterization, and how well the Love or Loss plays out. I'm not going to play favorites - I'm administering the contest and payouts this time. I will be choosing someone extra to go behind me to ensure there is unity on the picks after grading.
I will have the official Contest Blog solidified and posted on Friday.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and great New Year so far! Think about what you would like to do for the contest and begin formulating a story.
See you Friday!
