Our First Contest!

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 4, 2010, 10:36 AM
Hi there! :wave:

Well, we now have over fifty members, and I think it's high time FantasyAuthorsGuild held its first contest.

The theme will be 'Fantasy vs Sci Fi', and this can be interpreted in whichever way you see fit. So long as your entry contains elements of both sci fi and fantasy, it should be fine. :aww:

Rules
:bulletred: Entries must contain elements of both Sci Fi and Fantasy. How you wish to incorporate this is up to you.
:bulletred: Entries must be literature. You may include a picture if you like, but this will not be judged with your entry, and will not affect your score.
:bulletred: Entries must be all your own work.
:bulletred: New works only please. No pre-existing work.
:bulletred: Only members may enter.
:bulletred: One entry only, per member.
:bulletred: General group submission guidelines still apply.

Entries will be judged by the admins of the group. (The-Magic-Within, Heroisagirl, SashaFitzgerald, Mae-Sun, Sarahlizzio)

Judging Criteria
:bulletred: Originality
:bulletred: On Theme
:bulletred: Written Quality

Now, of course, no contest is complete without prizes!
