- Label appropriately
- Profanity okay, but not every fourth word.
- Spell check as best you can (recognizing imperfections may still slip by)

Feel free to reserve your spot, as long as you complete it. I will be judging this in about 11 hours... overnight for me. Judging will be at about 1:00pm EST.

I promise to comment on each entry. I eagerly look forward to reading each one and the challenge of judging it. Best of luck to you all!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 3
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
  • Final notes:
    Another tough one to judge but finally got my list of three. I wound up giving an extra 90 minutes before reading them but it appears most did not need it. These were very strong and I congratulate everyone on their fine writing, not just the winners. Thanks for the entries and best of luck in the next contest!
