#1 in StoryContest (2019-03-01)
The Red Feather Award aims to shine a light on the amazing authors of the Wattpad community. See inside for details and current contests!
[Closed 2021)
For the summer of 2019, the Red Feather Award is going to try something different! Instead of our monthly book contest, the months of May-August will be the time period for a single writing contest based on a prompt we provide.
Participants must write, upload, and submit a short story based on the following prompt:
A broken key
The smell of rain
An old book
Using these three pieces of inspiration, we want you to write a short story about anything you want!
Running Time
May 1 - August 31 at 11:59pm (MST)
Specifications
1. Any genre (fantasy, romance, thriller, mystery, contemporary, etc)
3. Add this story to a reading list so you're notified of updates
4. Tag 3-5 friends who may also wish to enter before you start writing!
How To Submit
Once you have completed your short story, upload it as a published work to Wattpad.
The first line of your description should read:
A short story written for the Red Feather Award Summer 2019 Writing Contest.
Then add 'RedFeatherAward' as a tag.
Please tag us and include our prompt in the introduction or author's note of your story for your readers.
