Welcome to the SWC writing competition! This session, our wonderful, amazing, fantastic judges are @caramelize @Sunclaw68 @theniqhtsfall and @Luna-Lovegood-LOL. There is no set prompt, and all types of writing (including poems, scripts, and non-fiction pieces) are accepted. Only rules are: You may not enter a piece that you have entered in previous SWC writing competitions, and the work must be your own (any entries found to have been plagiarized will be disqualified). It's fine if the piece you're entering was written before this month ^^ You may enter one entry for the main writing category, and one fanfiction entry! The fanfiction category includes any pieces featuring a world or characters made by anyone other than you, retellings, and SWC fanfics. The maximum word count for every entry is 2,000 words, no exceptions. The SWC Writing Competition Guide: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/6747223 — ★ ☾⠀☼⠀꧁꧂⠀☼ ☽ ★ — How to Enter: Comment on this project and be sure to include: - The title of the piece - How you published it (Discussion Forum, project, etc. Please publish it on Scratch!) - The word count - A link to the piece - Whether you would like to enter the Juniors category - For fanfiction entries, please also clarify what fandom it is! If you're publishing on Discussion Forums, please make sure your entry is in its own post, separate from other writing, so that the judges can easily find it ^^ — ★ ☾⠀☼⠀꧁꧂⠀☼ ☽ ★ — Winning the writing competition could turn the tables for your cabin! The point values for each award are as follows: Juniors: 25,000 Honorable Mentions: 30,000 Judges' Cuts: 35,000 Best __: 40,000 Fifth Place: 50,000 Fourth Place: 55,000 Third Place: 60,000 Second Place: 65,000 First Place: 75,000 (*The categories are subject to possible change.) The Juniors category is a category for non-fanfiction entries. It is meant to give a better chance to less experienced writers, although we acknowledge that age does not always reflect skill. Entering this category will not reduce your chances of winning any other prize - it's just an extra opportunity to earn points. You are eligible to enter if you are 12 or younger. If you aren't comfortable sharing your age (or age range) online, that's completely fine and you can still enter for all the other categories ^^ Points for the FANFICTION CATEGORY: Fifth Place: 20,000 Fourth Place: 25,000 Third Place: 30,000 Second Place: 35,000 First Place: 40,000 Collaborative entries are also welcome! However, they may not be by more than two people, and if the writers are in different cabins, any points they earn will be split between their cabins. A collaborative entry counts as both writers' entries, and they may not enter a second separate entry. — ★ ☾⠀☼⠀꧁꧂⠀☼ ☽ ★ — All entries are due by 11:59pm UTC on November 22nd. If you need an extension and have a good reason, please comment on a **JUDGE'S PROFILE BEFORE THE DEADLINE.** All extension requests may not be accepted. I'll be deleting all comments except entries and questions :) That's it! Good luck if you enter ;D — ★ ☾⠀☼⠀꧁꧂⠀☼ ☽ ★ — Credits: - Judges and contributors <3 - Thumbnail made on Canva by me () - Music: Bigger Than The Whole Sky by Taylor Swift :3 - , , and for writing the original description, edited by me. - , , , , and for hosting this session. - All past hosts, honoraries, and people who have contributed to SWC.
