The prize: 10,000 points to the winner. Open to: All works. That includes; novels and novellas, essays, short stories, poetry, photography and art, lyrics and music, and anything else I've left out. What's the catch? You can't submit your own work. What? Yep, that's right. You're only allowed to submit someone else's work. Find something in the forums that has inspired you- something that you think deserves to win 10,000 points. How it works: You choose up to three works to submit, and post a link and (optional) your reason for submitting it, in this thread. Then when the deadline rolls around, myself and three secret judges will deliberate for many an hour until we come up with a 1st. 2nd, and 3rd place work. The winning author then recieves the grand prize. Submission rules: Each person can submit up to three works , but each work must be by a different author . You can't submit your own work, or two works by the same author. Works must be by a yws member who has written at least five reviews. Works must have been posted in the forums between January 2013 and present day . Prizes: Traditionally the prizes are as follows: 1st Place: 10k points. 2nd Place: 3k points. 3rd place: 1k points. Runners up all recieve gifts . Deadline is August 31st '14. N/B This is a contest of good will. Members suspected of trying to rig the submissions will be investigated and disqualified at the judges discretion. Play nice, guys =] All donations towards the prize fund are very much welcome.

I don't even know the last time she was on, but I want to nominate @Ruth's flash fiction The Train Man, because it's one of my favorite things I've ever read, ever. Not just on the site, but...EVER. So short, but it packs a punch, and it's deliciously disturbing on several levels.

The Other Side of Mars - @beeyaay because her poem is just so beautiful. I loved her imagery and her words were so meaningful. It was one of the best poems I have ever read.

Trying: Chapter One - @Thewriter13 because her story is just so realistic and it talks about the problems quite a few teens have to deal with every single day. It really made me feel like I was watching Violet facing her everyday challenges. Great read!

The Elephant in the Room - Edit - @etherealember because this was one of the funniest, off this world kind-of stories that everyone likes and has to laugh at. It is written wonderfully and makes me smile.

Before you judge me...
Make sure you're perfect.
