Well, everyone who is over sixteen and can write in English.
The Lewis Country Writers Guild is sponsoring their first writing contest. All the details can be found here. The Grand Prize winner will win $100, a free ticket to the Southwest Washington Writers Conference, and the option of having their winning story printed in the conference program. Three First Place winners will win $50 and a free conference ticket each. Three Honorable Mention winners will each receive 50% off a conference ticket. Plus, all winners will get to brag that they won a writing contest.
You can find the rules on the LCWG website. To enter, write a short story between 10 and 3,000 words long based on one of three writing photo prompts found on the website (and above.) The genre, plot, characters, and setting are up to you.
Writers are welcome to enter as many times as they like, but there is a fee of $10 for each entry. The contest ends June 28th, so you have ample time to work on the perfect story. Go to the website for all the details, including the Terms and Conditions, the entry form, and the PayPal payment button.
I hope everyone will enter, but whether you do or not, I have a favor to ask. Can you share the contest information with your friends and family, both online and in-person? This contest is open to the world, and the winner might just be someone who learned about it because you passed it on.
On behalf of the Lewis County Writers Guild, I thank you.
