Catharsis Short Story Contest 2019 [Judging & Looking for Judges]

Awards

Although participating in this contest will get you some valuable feedback on your writing, we have a lot more to offer! Think about it, if you're being judged twice, then you're getting two times the reads as a normal contest! On top of the reads and the feedback, we have prizes!

Award Categories:

While all books (Xyderverse separate from other literature) will be judged overall for the top three stories, there are additional awards that writers not in the top three may win:

        - Strongest main character

        - Most memorable supporting character

        - Best antagonist (if the antagonist isn't the main character)

        - Best cover

        - Best dialogue

        - Greatest use of point of view

        - Best use of description

-

Now that you know what you can win for, now it's time to learn what you can actually get from winning!
