Jan. 5, 2009 - Storytime Writer's Contest
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine is hosting a great writing contest for both children and adults with some really great prizes! Below is a blurb about the contest and you can go to the official contest page for all of the rules and requirements.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine is very excited to be hosting our second Storytime Writing Contest! We have two creative fiction categories: adults (16 and up, 2,500 words or less) and children (15 and under, 1,500 words or less). We will begin to accept submissions on January 5, 2009, and continue through midnight, March 16, 2009.
Staff from The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine, as well as independent contractors, will review each entry and select fifty finalists in each category. Those finalists will be listed on the TOS website by title, author, and city. From there, a panel of judges who are "experts in the field" will select the Grand Prize Winners!
The Grand Prize Winners (one adult and one child) will receive:
• $100 gift certificate to the Schoolhouse Store
• Grand Prize Package valued at more than $1,000 from our sponsors! (See list of prizes below.)
• Publication in the Summer 2009 issue of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine
• Publication on www.TheHomeschoolMagazine.com
• Certificate of Achievement
The top two winners, as well as eleven finalists in each category, will have their stories published in an E-Book, which will be available for sale at the Schoolhouse Store!
