Competition Rules Categories:
- Fiction (1000+ words)
- Short Fiction (500-1000 words)
- Nonfiction (500+ words on History, Religion, Morality, etc.)
- Poetry (any form of poetry, though we prefer you keep them short)
- Themed (Determined per competition)
NO MORE THAN ONE ENTRY PER MEMBER IN EACH CATEGORY. MEMBERS MAY WIN ONE MEDAL ONLY. IN THE EVENT THEY WIN MULTIPLE MEDALS, ONLY THEIR ENTRY WITH THE HIGHEST OVERALL VOTES WILL RECEIVE A MEDAL, AND THEIR OTHER SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY EQUAL OR LESSER MEDAL. Librarians shall clerically administer the competition. Librarians shall not be voting on medals except on the "Librarian's Choice" medal, which is a private poll and will be announced at the end with the rest of the awards. A public poll shall be created and the general membership shall select a medal winner among the submissions for each category.
Submissions for this competition must be unique works written specifically for this competition, or otherwise not posted on TWC in the past.
Anyone caught asking for votes during the voting phase in any way, shape or form, on or off this forum, will have their submission immediately disqualified from the competition. In the event this does happen, I can personally guarantee you that you will not know of your entry's disqualification until after voting. This will leave you thinking you were able to sneakily lobby for votes behind my back, and just when you think you've got it, I will slap you hard with my pimp cane. So please ladies and gentlemen, don't pull any crap like this on me, I will see it coming and I will embarrass you for it. Don't say you haven't been warned.
