Writing Themes for the July Great BR Fishing & Wishing 100 – 100 Contest — Chance ‘um : )

Contest Rules

Here are the rules for The Great BR Fishing & Wishing 100 - 100 Contest:

1. You can submit one entry per month. All entries must be posted on the Bamboo Shoots page of the BRP site between July 1 and July 31 at 2:00 p.m. HST.

2. The entries -- prose, poetry, or hey! even plays -- must be between 100 WORDS minimum and 100 LINES maximum. Sound familiar? It's a cross between the 100-word short-short story contest and the 100-line submission maximum for the upcoming 100th issue of BAMBOO RIDGE.

If you plan to approach the 100 line maximum, please draft your work following the original submission guidelines: double-spaced with 1” margins, using 12 pt. Times Roman.

3. Every entry must have a title, and that title does NOT count against either the word total or the line total.

4. In the section below the title where it says

A blurb about your piece or a good quote from your piece:

You must include your word count. For example:

Title: Why I Live at Black Point in the Winter

A blurb about your piece or a good quote from your piece: 832 words

Body: After I made my first million, which was way too easy, blah blah blah . . . blah blah blah. So that's why now I can only afford to live at Black Point for three months a year.

5. Winners will be announced shortly after 2:00 p.m. HST, July 31, and will win Bamboo Bucks credit to spend in the BRP online bookstore.

6. Winners may or may not be published in a future issue of BAMBOO RIDGE : )

If you saw the last eblast, you know that six authors whose pieces were contest entries will be published in BR Issue #100, so chance 'um! You never know : )

Good luck and keep writing.
