It’s that time again. Jason Evans, over at the Clarity of Night blog has announced his short fiction contest. If you’ve taken part in any of the past contests, the rules are all the same. But if you are just now learning about this, here’s a rundown.
Evans has posted a picture that is to serve as the inspiration for your short fiction. You are to write a story of no more than 250 words, in any genre, any style, based on this picture somehow, and submit it by the deadline of 11 PM, Wednesday, July 16th. That’s one week, folks. You can do 250 words in a week.
Here’s the picture. He calls it “Running Wind” but you can make of it whatever you wish.
Here are the prizes as well:
- 1st Place: $25 Amazon gift certificate, 8 x 10 print of the “Running Wind” photograph (inscribed by Jason Evans)
