The Spotlight Awards

The Games (#1) - CLOSED

Welcome to the first Spotlight Games!

ABOUT:

This will be a friendly, mini-game style series of events that will take place, hopefully on a regular basis, and as always, the results will be added to your leaderboard score!

In this event, you will all be given a prompt that you can interpret any way you want! This is your chance to be as creative as possible, and think outside the box! This prompt will be a simple sentence to inspire a story, or piece of writing. Everyone will be working with the same prompt, but each person will come up with their own individual work.

Also, the general rules still apply to every competition, please read them on page 3, I have updated them. Entries will close on the 6th of February.

- Work must be between 300 - 700 words

- Work does not have to be published, you can PM it to me, it doesn't matter

Suprise Advantage For Winners of the Previous Awards:

As promised to our 1st and 2nd place winners of the Spotlight Ultimate Awards, our 1st place winner, rh27writer, and our second place winner Silmarilz1701, will be receiving a surprise advantage in this event. Both of you can use the provided prompt that everyone else is using, or you can choose your own prompt, it's up to you!

If you choose your own prompt, the rules still apply and your work has to be relevant and include the prompt at some point, and the prompt you choose also has to be one sentence. But you may also like the prompt provided, so you're welcome to use it anyway or modify it, it's totally up to you, but please let me know the prompt you're using before you begin.

The prompt will be announced on the next page. This is going to be so much fun, and I strongly encourage you to join, especially if you were involved in the last awards! I also wonder how many times I've written the word "prompt".

If you have any questions or if anything doesn't make sense, please let me know in the comments!

Let's do this!!!
