《Wattpad Block Party - Summer Edition IV》BrittanieCharmintine Presents: Under the Sea Writing Contest 2018
Advertisement
We cannot wait to read your briny tales of Adventure, Romance, Horror, Mystery, Sci-fi, or even Self-help!
Just kidding! As much as we could all benefit from your pearls of undersea wisdom, no self-help this year. But any of the others would be great! Ocean's the limit.
a. Your protagonist, love interest, or antagonist can be a merperson OR your story may simply be set under the sea (but please make it a little bit magical).
b. While your story can be any length, the judges will only consider the first 2,000 words in making their decisions. If your story is the beginning of a longer work, please provide a short synopsis. (It won't count in the word limit.)
c. Entries are due by September 21st. Finalists announced September 30th. Winner crowned October 7th.
d. Stories can be new creations or not. They can be tales you entered in previous years as long as you've made substantive edits since then.
Prepare for a blue whale-sized splash with this year's panel of awesome and dazzling judges ...
