MCWC XX - Submissions/Nominations Thread
Image by cedric37.
This is the submission/nomination thread for MCWC XX!
Eligibility
Two updates are needed since January 1, 2019.
Only one entry per person.
Please note that entries with more than one author are considered to be entries for all the co-authors.
If one of the co-authors of a submission wants to submit a piece of Creative Writing they have written individually, they may do so,
but WS staff will withdraw the co-authored piece of Creative Writing from the competition if this happens.
The first place winner in the previous competition cannot enter this one.
Only work that is posted on TWC is eligible to enter.
Writers' Study Staff have discretion to disqualify nominations where it would be unfair to allow them to enter, for example in cases of plagiarism.
If you have a question or want to check whether an entry is eligible, please send a private message to a member of the Writers' Study Staff.
Advertising
Advertising the competition is allowed. Inviting people to submit their writing is okay.
Asking for votes for a particular submission is not allowed and will result in disqualification.
Breaking the rules will result in measures at the discretion of the Writers' Study Staff.
Submissions
Authors are encouraged to submit your own work.
To enter, post on this thread with the following: the author's name, the title (with a link to the thread) and a short description/teaser.
If you want to nominate someone else's story, you must ask for (and obtain) their permission before nominating them.
Voting
Six entries are needed to run a regular competition.
If, after a month, we have fewer than six entries, then we wait until there are three or more submissions.
Awards
- 4 points for the Winner
- 3 points for Second Place
- 2 points for Third Place
If the competition has fewer than six entries, then first place will receive three points and second place will receive two.
Where a co-authored piece of Creative Writing wins Writers' Study Competition points, those points will be divided between all the co-authors equally. If that division results in each author receiving a fraction of a point, then each author will receive no points for a fraction less than one-half, or 1 point for a fraction of one-half or more.
For instance, if 3 points are divided between 2 authors, dividing the points equally gives each author one and a half points. The half is rounded up, so each author actually receives 2 points.
Points are accumulated towards the awarding of the Writers' Study Competition Medals.
- 6 points - bronze medal
- 12 points - silver medal
- 24 points - gold medal
