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, August 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 Winners may or may not be published in a future issue of BAMBOO RIDGE : )
