How long we can vote?

Alhamdulillah all the writers have done a great job. But I didn't expect that we would have just 3 entries. :( I was waiting for the stories so I had to read them as soon as possible and this time the stories were not too many.

Voice from within : The story was short but meaningful. The descriptions in the beginning were really good and created a good imrwssion. I liked the story.

Is life a struggle : It was a sort of ordinary story. Descriptions weren't adequate.

Trail of Snowden : The twists were really good. It created a good suspence and the end was unexpected.

I liked the first story too but the 3rd story got my vote. I could easily guess the writers. :p.

Same here sister Innocent Soul.
Perhaps everyone has been really busy over the end of year vacations and with preparing for the new calender year....
Allahu alim

This contest is meant to be by the members....for the members.
In shaa Allah, we will have more participation at the next writing contest :)

[Muhaba]

Jazak-Allaho khairan to the talented IB writers. You've worked hard and provided excellent reading material (stories and poems). In time I will comment on the entries and give constructive feedback in-sha-Allah.

Now it's time to read and vote.

Asalaam O Alaikum...

Thank you for initiating this contest.

Do we have to be the author? Can the author be someone else and we share it over here?

Re: LI Writing Contest 2014: Discussion Thread

walakum salaam bro Syed :)

The stories have to be your own, no one elses. Unfortunately the competition time is now over and votes are taking place in the other thread.

I've been meaning to enter this comp for a few years now, but haven't done so far...

...maybe one day in sha Allah :)

I've voted but I'll give feedback later, or in private if the authors wish.

[Innocent Soul]

When will be the results announced? The polls have disappeared. I can't access the entry page. :(

[sister herb]

Maybe the poll should starts again?

Maybe the poll should starts again?

[Innocent Soul]

I too feel the same. There was no time for voting because of the upgrade. :(

[Muhammad]

Assalaamu Alaykum,

Apologies for the disruption to the competition. In sha Allah we will make a new poll and everyone will need to re-cast their vote. We will also make a new deadline for the voting In sha Allah. Jazakumullahu khayran for your patience.

How long we need to wait new poll?

[Muhammad]

As there is still some maintenance work going on, perhaps we should wait until it's finished to avoid losing any posts. In sha Allah it will be done soon and then we can continue with the competition. Apologies for the delay and Jazakumullahu khayran for your continued patience.

:salam: dear brothers and sisters,

Alhamdulillah, 1st Muharram 1436 is upon us in shaa Allah.

As we look forward towards a new year, we also look back at what has passed - what has been accomplished by the will of Allah, and what remains to be.

Our last Writing Contest was held earlier this year, and unfortunately due to technical difficulties, our winners are still to be finalized.

We will be re-opening the polls to enable you to vote for your favorite story.

Please support our writers, who have placed immense time and effort into their work - by reading their entries and participating in the vote here: http://www.islamicboard.com/creative...4-entries.html, and, sharing your constructive feedback in this thread.

Polls close in a month in shaa Allah: 24 November 2014

Looking forward to hearing from everyone in shaa Allah :)
