Dear Fellow Hernandos, may we have your attention please?
Our New Writer Cum Laude Contest
is now open !
And the Theme is
”Outdoors”
is now open !
And the Theme is
”Outdoors”
As chosen by our latest contest Summa Cum Laude Winner, Teye22, the Theme is "Outdoors" but the entry is up to the writer’s choice; a camping, fishing or hunting story, a funny excursion story, an alien contact story, a time traveling story, a murder investigation story, a scary sasquatch encounter or just about anything else your imagination can come out with, as long as it happens outdoors thus referring to the “Outdoors” theme. Make it a science fiction extravaganza, a hiking story that turns into a nightmare, an apocalyptic military invasion where the forests are the last hopes of survival, it's entirely up to you...
Pics and videos are allowed (nothing too graphic, keep it clean) as long as they support the entry and must not overshadow the writing – which is the whole purpose of this contest after all.
IMPORTANT
Contest Guidelines
This Contest is open to all, members and staff.
Two submissions are allowed per member and/or staff.
Important: Your entry must be sticking with the theme at hand, which is “Outdoors”.
Important: Moderators will act as Theme Keepers throughout the contest and will have the right to disqualify any entry that does not stick with the Theme at hand. If a story is disqualified, it will remain in the contest so that readers may continue enjoying it but it will not be eligible for the voting poll.
Important: There is no word count limit, no length limit, no posts limit. Nevertheless, you must end your entry with “The End” so that readers know that you are done.
All entries must start with the prefix WC4– before the title.
Once your entry is up, please let us know that you’ve put it up by sharing a link to it in this Announcement thread.
IMPORTANT
Voting Guidelines
As always, when the contest ends, we will be adding a voting poll to the contest. Members and staff will be allowed voting on the poll, choosing their favorite, their second favorite and third favorite entry.
IMPORTANT: There will be non participating staff voting on this contest. If a tie occurs when the voting poll closes, Moderators will act as tie breakers.
The voting process will last 7 days and both the voting poll and the Moderator’s non participating voting process will determine our new top three entries.
WINNERS
If this is the first time you enter a Hernando’s Hideaway Writer’s Contest, you will automatically receive the "Hernando's Hideaway Writers Guild 2015" Signature, a well deserved Award for participating!
The Top 3 Entries will be announced a day or two after the voting poll closes so that the non participating votes are counted and if a tie needs to be broken, if needed.
