10k Points Contest!

Tenyo · 2013-01-23T17:08:55Z

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 during any time from March 2010 to present day. Please post the title and author of the piece, and include a link (otherwise we have to track it down and that gets hugely difficult sometimes.) Don't forget to mention why you like it so much. This is optional, but none the less great to hear. Prizes: Traditionally the prizes are as follows: 1st Place: 10k points. 2nd Place: 5k points. 3rd place: 3k points. Runners up all recieve gifts . Since points donations aren't configured just yet, if all else fails I'll update the thread nearer the time to alter the prizes. More prizes will be added as the prize fund grows. Deadline is April 30th '13. Extended to Tuesday May 7th '13 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 =]

Notice!

So, due to an immense workload the past few days and my diminished capacity for responsability, the contest has been extended by one week. Deadlines close on Tuesday 7th.

As long as it's Tuesday 7th somewhere in the world, contest is open.

Who's the winner? I'm not part of this, but still... I wanna know!

Have your chin up, and speak up.Otherwise, nothing will get done.And what you need to say, will never be heard.Just be confident in what you say, and stand by it

The wince that you wince when you see your quote in the quote generator is quite a wince, I tell ya. To know that the whole YWS community has read and judged your quote is quite an awkward feeling like oh noes. *manly blush*
