Prizes

[Admin]

I've decided to give a $300 USD first place prize to the winner of the annual contest.

This will be delivered by check, paypal, or online gift certificate if you prefer.

[RobinHood3000]

Whoa. :eek: That's one way to get people motivated.

[sHaRp12]

Is it only for the winner. How about 2nd or 3rd. Maybe you could ship them a book of their choice or a book from your collection.

[Admin]

Just 1st place.

[Shannanigan]

Hey...maybe I should write a story :D heehee....

[Asa Adams]

This is great! Just a simple question. So if i were to have a story prepared for August, I would submit it by the first of that Month? For the voting process of that month? Or would I submit it a little earlier for the Admin/moderators to process?

[Scheherazade]

Hi Asa,

We do not process the submitted stories -as long as they fulfil the entry requirements- and they appear the way they are submitted. However, it would be a good idea to submit your story sometime in July to be included in the August poll. I usually set up the polls on the 1st of each month so you might be a little late if you wait till that very day.

You can find more about the rules here: http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16585

[Asa Adams]

:thumbs_up Wow, thanks alot. That was very helpful!

[tulysg1982]

is there any limitation in topics of the story?

[Jay]

As long as your story doesn't break any of the forum rules (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/announcement.php?f=4), I think everything else is pretty much a fair game, Tulysg. Also make sure to read the Competition rules (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18200) if you'd like to participate :) (so get posting to be able to take part! :D)

While $300 is pretty sweet, I think some SERIOUS recognition for first would be in order, as well as for second and third.

((That would make an awesome 2nd & 3rd place prize, too, a special recognition deal. I dunno, devoute an announcement to them or something.))

[pinkmoon]

I just want to know when the last date is
I mean the last date for us to post the story
if you please:)

[hedbanger]

May I ask why the prize is in USD? =)

[Scheherazade]

Because this site is based in the USA and the owner is an American as well.

[pinkmoon]

Does that mean we do not get it if we were outside America?:(

[Scheherazade]

The winner will get the prize advertised no matter where they live but it will always be up to the value of 300 USD.

[pinkmoon]

Yes. OK thank you.

[hedbanger]

Because this site is based in the USA and the owner is an American as well.

Really?

I figured that, since the email was .co.uk, and then you are a British moderator... I just figured it was a British based thing. Hmmm.

Well I'm American so I wouldn't have understod the prize otherwise, but I was curious anyway. =)

[Scheherazade]

Our Forum has members from all over the world and we have moderators from six different countries :)

[hedbanger]

Radical! You're the only one I've ever met though. xD

Still, why is the email we send stuff too .co.uk? or am I off on my information?

[Nyu001]

I am wondering where from the money come? Does is recollected by little apportions of others or donations?

[Pf. HS Dimple]

The money may be charity but if we receive it it is all fine and even managing such a site is costly affair but the men who do so must have great passion for liteature, as I do have as NOBEL had and as SHAKESPEARE had.........

[Ebonon]

When can I submit my story (not that i have a written one as in yet, but would certainly break a leg!)?

Sorry I should have read the rules, but rules always seem boring to me! So i thought i might ask someone here...

Thanks in anticipation :)

[Scheherazade]

Sorry I should have read the rules, but rules always seem boring to me!Sorry. I should have answered your question but answering questions for which replies are already provided in the rules seem boring to me!

[histary]

Where can i gat the winner's story, for i want to read the best ones.
Thank you!

[desiresjab]

Is it OK to send something for the June selection right now, or do I have to wait until June 1rst?

[Scheherazade]

You can send them now.
