100 Words or Fewer Contest Number Nine

The 100 Words or Fewer Writing Contest is currently accepting stories in the categories of "Eating" or "Uncommon Character". The contest has a deadline of February 18, 2012.

"Eating" can be the way someone eats, or the situation he or she is eating in, or buying food, kitchen, or dining related items - whatever your imagination conjures up about eating. The most important element to your story is the character's action.

An "Uncommon Character" story will concentrate on what your uncommon character might do in a situation. However, it must not be just a character description or profile. As with the eating category, your story must offer a problem, complications, and a resolution (ending) of some kind. Both types of stories can be told in first, second, or third person.

First prize winners for the both the "Eating" and "Uncommon Character" categories is $400. Runner-up prizes for each category is $50.

The entry fee is $15. Checkmark evaluations are $10 and story critique is $40. Entry fee plus checkmark evaluation is $25. Entry fee plus checkmark evaluation plus critique is $60.
