✩ Hi everybody, and welcome to the official project for the JWC '26 writing competition <3 I am so excited to present our judges for this session... @CatMeowLove7 , @TokoWrites , and @-starrii-skies- ! Thank you again to everybody who applied <33 Now onto what this project is really about: the competition! ✩ Prizes There will be a first place, second place, and third place winner, along with three best prizes, and a currently undecided number of honorable mentions! (All of this, though, is entirely dependent on the number of entries we get, and we may make adjustments in the future <3) ✩ Point Values Winning any prize in this competition could help your cabin move up in the rankings! The prizes are as follows: Honorable Mentions: 7,000 Best _____: 10,000 Third Place: 15,000 Second Place: 20,000 First Place: 25,000 (again, these could be subject to change based on number of entries!) ✩ Entry Requirements In order to enter, please comment this in the comments: ~ Title of the piece ~ How you published it (forum, project, etc. All submissions must be on Scratch!) ~ Word count (unlike the SWC writing competition, the max for this competition is 3,000 words <3) ~ And a link to the piece ✩ Notes Any and all types of writing are allowed, though we do ask that you follow the scratch guidelines and post proper trigger/content warnings as needed. Possible entries include, but are not limited to: fanfiction, short stories, novel excerpts, essays, and poems. All of these, however, will be judged in the same category and be eligible for the same prizes. You may only enter one piece, and it must be original work. Any entries found to be plagiarized or otherwise creatively dishonest will be disqualified. You may enter a piece you've written before this month, as long as you haven't entered it into a previous JWC writing competition <3 All entries are due by 11:59 UTC on January 31st, happy writing! As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me in the comments or on my profile, or any of the other judges. A note about extensions: please contact a judge as to why you need an extension, as well as an expected timeframe of how long you would need. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and we will get back to you in the most timely manner possible <3 ✩ Credits ~ , , and for judging! ~ SWC writing competition for inspiration ~ Previous JWC writing comp descriptions, edited by myself ( ) ~ The wonderful hosting team: Ris, Chocolate, Cat, Mabel, and Kiara
