It's 2008 ~ and I'm looking to set the bar for the Record # of entries.
This will close at the end of January.
Judging will be complete by the 2nd week of February
I will comment on every entry
Prewrite ~ Fresh Writes are welcomed....
*** Note just for sorting reasons *** Fresh Writes will be moved immediately to finalist area. Reason being ~ is at least one of the fresh writes will be awarded a special award ~ to be announce later~ after the judging of the special fresh write is decided ~ the fresh writes will be moved back down with the rest of the entries unless being awarded a trophy ~
Only If I get 1000 entries:
I will give GOLD 1000 points, Silver 750 Points, Bronze 500 points (2250 total points)
and 10 H.M per 100 (3000 total points) - I will also give a special prize to the 1000 entry in the contest. - 500 points
Otherwise:
The points will be based on the number of entries I recieve.
RULES:
1. Anything goes
2. Must mark accordingly - if adult mark it > adult!
3. NO PREWRITES that won GOLD
4. Line limit ~ is whatever you want ~ but If I get bored I won't finish it...
5. Have fun....
6. Prewrites and fresh writes welcome
7. Enter as many times as you like.
Questions? message me ....
CURRENT STATUS:
