Open Contest for Ages 10 - 16 :)

Hey guys! This is a contest for those of you between the ages of 10 and 16.

In this contest you may write about anything you want, keeping in mind that your work must be -G- rated.

I want you to express yourself in whatever way you wish, so you may write poetry, lyrics, a story, an essay, etc. It doesn't matter, as long as you make sure your spelling and grammer are correct. [which isn't as terrible as you might think ]

I really want you to have fun with this. So be creative, be passionate and don't be afraid to step out of the box.

If you need a topic you can message me and I'll find one for you.

Otherwise, its all up to you

Have fun!


****UPDATE- Just bc I have finalists DOES NOT mean that I have made my final choices. PLEASE enter bc NOTHING is final until the contest is over ******

      I actually have a couple for you to choose from. I went ahead and checked out your authors page and these are the 2 options I thought of:

      1. Write about how music affects your soul. As in you personaly. Reach deep down inside and pull out the emotions that music brings out in you.

      2. Write about your animal(s) and how THEY (or it) make(s) you feel. What do they contribute to your life emotionaly.

      Use good metaphors in either choice.

      These options are pretty tough, so if you don't like either of them, don't hesitate to tell me and I'll gladly think of something else.

      Good luck!

    *shifty eyes* gawd, it feels weird writing poetry to compete against people that are closer to my age xD
