Welcome to the LGBT Awareness Contest!
The aim is to raise awareness for the Trans/non-binary community by challenging you to consider things from the point of view of someone who falls outside of what is considered the general norm of gender identity.
Your task:
To write a piece including the perspective of such an individual, and to consider the ways that these issues would effect them.
You can do this in the form of a diary entry, short story, or poetry.
Prizes up for grabs:
1st place: 3500
2nd place: 2500
3rd place: 1500
As well as:
A feature in Squills.
A review on every piece submitted.
In the event that there is a lack of submissions, the relevant prizes will still be given to those who have entered.
Submission Guidelines:
Post your work in the forums and then stick the link below.
You're free to edit your work as much as you want until the final deadline.
We're going to cap this one at a 16+ maximum.
No gore or graphic sex scenes
No particularly heinous hate crimes
If your work contains issues of extreme prejudice, violence or self harm, remember to include a "Sensitive topic" or "Contains:" warning in your description.

Judging Criteria
