Let me know if I'm doing this wrong, I'm kinda new to the contest thingy.

Basically, entries must be between 500 and 1,500 words. Entries have got to have something to do with animals or nature, though animals and nature don't have to be the main focus of the entry. You can submit poetry, a survival story, something creative....... anything. Entries can be based on an actual event, but please only submit fiction. This contest is open to anyone, and each person can submit up to two pieces. The contest deadline is November 10.

First prize: 300 points and 3 reviews.

Second prize: 100 points and 2 reviews

Third prize: 50 points and 1 reviews

This sounds interesting. Is it for just short stories or are poems accepted too? And can old work be used?

Sounds great Smile

Just a question though, can we submit 2 entrees?

Like a poem and short story?
Cause I really, really like writing Razz

Also... is it just you judging? Maybe a few more judges would do... maybe a mod could bring interest to this Razz

Just wondering Smile

I'll get started on one thing for now Smile

Hm, I have two judges so far, and neither of them are moderators Smile

You can submit up to two things if you want, I though I said that up there....... I'll go change it.

Thanks for the interest!
