Writing contest

[Insaanah]

:salam: and greetings to all,

Normally around this time of year, we hold a writing contest, open to all members.

What are peoples views on having a contest this year, and indeed is anyone wanting to take part?

If so please post here, or you can PM me if you don't wish to post.

If we have enough interest, then we can go ahead and arrange organising it :ia:

You can see previous years entries and discussion in the stickies at the top of the creative writing and art section here: http://www.islamicboard.com/creative-writing-art/ , to get a feel for it.

I'm interested but how it would be?

:salamext:


Also, we haven't had a poetry contest since 2009... if anyone would like to participate in that too, let us know so we can arrange it if there's enough interest :ia:.

I'm interested but how it would be?

This was last year's competition format: http://www.islamicboard.com/creative...on-thread.html

All the participants write their story following those guidelines and private message it to the person hosting the competition. The stories are then posted anonymously by the host in a separate thread, where all forum members can read them and vote for the one they think is the best. The winner is then announced, and members can leave feedback on all the stories if they wish.

[ILuvAllah]

When is the deadline? Can I write fiction?

[Muhammad]

When is the deadline? Can I write fiction?

Once we have enough interest and it is decided to go ahead with the competition, we can then set a deadline :ia:. Yes, all stories will be fiction :ia:.

Remember to vote if you are interested!

[greenhill]

Yes, all stories will be fiction .

Yikes!

Hmmmmm still debating.....

I am definitely interested but don't have anything written to enter into the contest. I'll have to write something specifically for the contest. In-sha-Allah

:salam:

We would like to host the annual writing contest once again :ia:. Starting early this year, we want to complete the contest by the end of December. That gives you almost 3 months to participate and submit an entry.

Are you all ready? If you had already voted on the poll last year, please reply on this thread.

[sister herb]

Yes. Yes... I mean YES!

[Zeal]

I'd like to do this too but is there a specific topic or do we just write about whatever we want

[sister herb]

We write what ever we want. Check earlier writing contests and you see we really have done so.

For example:

http://www.islamicboard.com/creative...st#post2837743

I am sure that mods will explain specific rules later.
