Where is the 2015 writing contest

[Muhaba]

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.

I am in, I am in (if I find any idea what to write)!

Ok great. I will probably write about....something

Anyone else interested? We don't have much time till the end of the year so best to get it started quick.

 

[strivingobserver98]

I'm definitely interested too! Yes I agree not much time left, we'll try and get this started soon as possible.

 

[MuslimInshallah]

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.

 

[Lady A]

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 :hmm:

 

[Insaanah]

Any other expressions of interest in taking part?

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

 

[sister herb]

I am in! I am in! And a little extension sounds good too.

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?

 

[Insaanah]

These were the rules for the last contest, just to give an idea: http://www.islamicboard.com/creativ...est-discussion-thread-2013-a.html#post1601532

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

 

[sister herb]

When we can start?

 

[Insaanah]

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.

 

[Muezzin]

After a long leave of absence, I would like to reply to this thread thusly:

Inshallah.

 

[Insaanah]

Jazaakumullaah khayr for your patience.
