Frosted Fairytales Write-A-Thon Contest

OPENS JANUARY 6, 2022!

RULES

  • Adhere to the theme, but interpret it in a unique way! Be prepared to explain how your interpretation connects to the theme. No retellings are allowed.
  • Only 1 submissions per genre, but you can submit to all the genres, however there are only fiction/prose and poetry.
  • Please remove all identifying information (name, email, etc.) from your submission document.
  • We like serif fonts (Times New Roman, Georgia, Garamond, etc.)
  • Have fun! This theme is supposed to be up for interpretation, so go wild with it! We're not picky as long as you can explain how you interpreted the theme! Submissions are through a Google form. 
  • We accept submissions in any genre, including fantast, sci-fi, romance, and more! Please do no submit work with any explicit sexual content, any racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist or any other offensive work. Thank you! We do not accept any novels at this time.

BLURB

Once upon a time, Rapunzel was stuck in a tower, Cinderella lost her shoe, and Aurora pricked her finger on a spinning wheel. We've heard these stories over and over. Even with variations, they have the same core concepts. If you could write a new tale — a fresh, imaginative piece (fiction or poetry) of your own — what would you write? This Write-a-thon, create your own original fairytale that incorporates wintery elements (snow, hot chocolate, winter holidays, ice).

PRIZES

 $25 per winner in each genre plus expedited services
Second and Third place: Expedited Services
