The Great Tortoise Literary Work Contest

In honor of the Great Tortoise Race I would love to read some more Tortoise Related poems &/or short stories. Help out the cause and bring some attention to a wonderful animal!

DIRECTIONS:
Write a poem or short story about tortoises, post it in the literary center, and link it here for a chance to win 500 points!

(I am also willing to count crochet, origami, and drawings as poetry in this case as long as the piece is posted in the literary center, so feel free to be creative with your work!)

PRIZE:
I will give my favorite literary piece 500 points. :3 And will also feature it in a Squills article.

Deadline: JUNE 30

QUESTIONS: Please ask any questions you may have below!

So I'm kinda new here. To clarify, by literary center, do you mean the general place you typically post writing? Or somewhere else?

Yep the lit center just means post as you would normally.

Thank you so much! ^^

So is this still open? I know it says until June 30th, but also no one's posted here. If I submitted a work with no one else here, I'd just be stealing the prize.

Trying to encourage others to post - open til July 1. thanks for participating!


Also can you link your work - I dont see it.

Oh, yep, sorry, here's the link: (I'm not used to linking things so sorry if it doesn't work)

Dear Human: NOT a Turtle
