The Current Contest
Contest #5 is officially launched as of March 9, 2007. Its premise is as follows:
FOUND
One or more characters *unexpectedly* find one or
more physical objects somewhere. Something about the object(s) raises questions that the characters want answered.
Your challenge: In at least 1,000 but no more than 5,000 words, write a creative, compelling, and well-crafted story that clearly uses the premise. If you aren’t sure whether your idea fits our premise, you can ask us at Questions@OnThePremises.com.
Deadline: 11:59 PM Eastern Time, Saturday, May 31, 2008.
Send your submissions to Entries@OnThePremises.com any time between now and then. Remember our weird rules:
1) Put your name, address, and other identifying information in the body of your e-mail, and not anywhere in your story itself. We don’t want to know who you are when we read your story.
2) Send us only MS Word (.doc), Rich Text Format (.rtf), and plain text (.txt) attachments.
Those are the most important rules, but here are some others, and here is some advice on how to win.
