[UPDATES] The Battle of The Genres || Sign-Ups 2025

Instructions

❥ Hey writers! Welcome to The Battle of The Genres sign-ups! If you haven't heard of this before let me provide a little summary for you! So basically they'll be six genres to choose from. These genres will be competing against each other. Each genre will have a team leader. This competition will start mid-January, but teams will be formed prior. I will also need judges and team leaders. The winning genre will be dubbed "The Best Genre of 2025." If not enough people participate the event will be cancelled. (Idk If I want to do prizes for the winning genre) Sign-ups will close on January 4th (No, sign-ups aren't necessarily 'closed' all this means is that all major roles like judges and leaders are unavailable. Please message me on my pf if you're interested in joining as a regular participant.) SPREAD THE WORD XD (fr this needs to be hyped more bc these teams are unbalanced-) Genres: (You can only be on one) - Fantasy - Romance - Horror - Apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic fiction - Mystery - Adventure Each genre will have to submit three projects under the following categories: ➵ Short Story (300 words max) ➵ Poem (Any kind. No limit) ➵ Creative piece (Create something that relates to the genre in some way. Game, animation, art, short history, etc. It can be anything.) YOU WILL BE GIVEN A WEEK TO MAKE THESE PROJECTS ONCE THE COMPETITION STARTS There will be 6 rounds of judging The team with the most points after all the rounds will win! Category Values: ➵ Short Story ➵ 20 Points ➵ Poem ➵ 15 Points ➵ Creative Piece ➵ 30 Points Rules: ➵ Please no plagiarism :( ➵ All projects must follow the Community Guidelines ➵ I want this competition to be free of any arguments (minor ones are okay since they're bound to happen but please refrain from posting hurtful comments) ➵ You cannot join two teams ➵ You can not attempt to sabotage any other team ➵ You cannot form alliances with any other teams.
