Hello, friends! Yes, it's here! We promised that during the spring months we would launch a writing contest here, on Books and Writing Amino, and it's finally time to introduce you to what we've prepared for all of you! I'm very proud of the work we put into it and I hope you'll enjoy participating in it as much as we did while creating it! But, without further ado, let's dive into it! So ready for creativity!
First and foremost, I want to mention that there are going to be TWO winners! Yes, two of you will have the chance to be gold and win some cool prizes! :tada:
The prizes are:
🏅 Your blog will stay featured for 10 whole days.
🏅 It will be broadcasted at least once.
🏅 Each one of us (the Team) will repost it.
🏅 You will receive a new custom profile title.
🏅 You will receive 10 coins from each member of the Curation Team, so 50 coins overall.
The contest will last until May 1, so submissions will be valid until midnight of this day. In other words, you've got one month to prepare something magnificent! Good luck, fellow writers!
We decided to make the contest related to art, which is often an inspiration to most writers. Also, art is open to personal imagination and interpretation, so all of you have got the choice to make your writing piece as unique and creative as possible.
:round_pushpin: You can submit an entry in two ways:
⓵ You can choose an existing photo from the Shared Folder, insert it to the blog, and write something based off of it.
⓶ You can choose one, or multiple, of the three images that we found for you. (In case you don't find something you like in the Shared Folder.)
:ballot_box_with_check: Make sure you use the hashtag #AWC, so we don't miss any of your wonderful blogs! Thanks so much! :ballot_box_with_check:
Here are the images you can use if you don't find something that inspires you in the Shared Folder.
• A person-based picture.
• An object-based picture.
• A scenery-based picture.
Finally, all of you will have the chance to choose the blogs you like and the winners themselves!
There are going to be two rounds, kind of like a game. Semifinals and finals.
:trophy: Step 1...
The semifinals round will consist of a blog where we'll have gathered all the valid entries and you'll vote for your favorite in the comments. The five blogs with the most votes will move on to the finals round. Congratulations!
:trophy: Step 2...
The finals round will be a blog with the five finalists, where you'll be able to choose our two winners. Pretty neat, right? The readers can help here, too! We don't want you to feel excluded.
Any format is allowed! You can write a poem, short story, literary fiction blog, magical realism, fantasy, romance, whatever you feel works best for you.
I cannot wait to see what you'll come up with, pals!
That is all, friends! I believe the blog is explanatory enough, but if you've got any questions, please don't hesitate to message anyone on the Curation Team. We were working on ideas for the contest for a while now and we're excited to see what you'll make out of it. As always, respect the guidelines and have fun! What matters is your joy. Good luck!
Happy reading and writing! :book: :book: :book:

When voting comes around, if you entered are you allowed to vote (for someone other than yourself, obviously)? :3
Yes, you are allowed to vote for anyone but yourself! So sorry for the late reply! :disappointed_relieved: :wink: 🤗
Can we find any image from the internet (like pinterest) and use it on our blog if we don't like the images on the shared folder or the contest blog???
Reply to: Thedreamybooksniffer
No, unfortunately you can only choose from these options. We were thinking of making it like that, but there have been some incidents where people posted inappropriate photos, so that's why we limited it to these two choices. :wink:
Can we enter more than once??
Reply to: Pʀɪɴᴄᴇ
Yes, but you have to use a different image every time. Only one image per entry. :wink:

Okie
When you say midnight, which timezone do you mean?
Reply to: milena
Anyone's timezone! :wink:
I don't want to keep it strict. We won't post the next blog until a few days after anyway.

Ah, that makes sense and is a nice decision, thank you :heart:
Is it only one entry per person?
Reply to: :sparkles: Wanderer :sparkles:
No, you can submit as many as you want. :blush:
