    Where is the 2015 writing contest

    Salams, we didn't even have a proper 2014 writing contest. Anyone interested in a contest this year?

    I haven't written any stories lately but maybe I'll get ideas. The writing contest always energizes me.

    Re: Where is the 2015 writing contest

    Assalaamu alaikum,

    Would the writing have to be fiction?

    (smile) I look forward to reading the entries. (laugh) And if I'm struck by the muse, I might try my hand, too!

    May Allah Bless you all.

    Looking forward to reading what you all wrote! I cannot commit because I'm not a creative writer nor do I have time as 2015 is winding down

    Any other expressions of interest in taking part?

    We could extend the deadline into the beginning of next year...

    Re: Where is the 2015 writing contest

    I'll take a go at it, and will probably get some ideas cooking. But I have no idea how these things work. Is there pre-defined topics, or just free for all? What is the normal word count in such stories?

    It has been narrated on the authority of 'Arfaja who said:

    I have heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Different evils will make their appearance in the near future. Anyone who tries to disrupt the affairs of this Umma while they are united you should strike him with the sword whoever he be.

    These were the rules for the last contest, just to give an idea: http://www.islamicboard.com/creative...ml#post1601532

    Rules for this years contest have not been finalised just yet, but shouldn't be too far off the above.

    Re: Where is the 2015 writing contest


    Would anybody be interested in hosting the contest? The host cannot take part themselves, and must be able to log in regularly for the duration on the contest, likely deadline early next year. The host would give the rules, the deadline, encourage entries, and all entries would be sent to the host, and the host would make a thread straight after the deadline, with all the entries so members can vote. We would of course, give all necessary information to the host. If interested, you can either post here or PM me.
    Jazaakumullah khayr.
