2014 Writing Contest

Scribes Valley Publishing is accepting submissions for their 12th annual short story writing contest. All finalists (around 10-15 stories) are published in annual contest anthology. Monetary prizes for top 3 finalists are based on contest participation – the more entries we receive, the bigger the prize amounts.

Thrill us…amaze us…entertain us…TELL US A STORY!

Deadline:  August 31, 2014
Word limit: 5,000
Entry Fee:  $7.00 US
Winners announced: around October 15, 2014

You can enter by snail mail or online submission.

Complete submission guidelines and rules on our website: http://www.scribesvalley.com.

Contests are open to everyone, regardless of nationality, age, or publishing history, as long as it is legal in the entrant's place of residence.

All work must be original and unpublished. The author must own all rights to the submitted material. We require only First Anthology Rights for those stories we publish. All other rights remain with the author.

Simultaneous submissions are okay. However, if the work is published (or accepted for publication) elsewhere before the contest ends, the author must inform Scribes Valley Publishing so the story may be removed from contest consideration.

Writing Contest Deadline Extended

Due to requests, we've decided to extend the deadline of our 9th Annual Short Story Writing Contest . You now have until August 31, 2011 to get your entry in for contest consideration! We publish the top 10-15 stories from the contest in an annual anthology (try saying that five time fast) and the top 2-3 stories receive a monetary reward on top of that! Most of our contest winners are new, unknown authors seeking a little publicity and exposure. So, grab that story that you've worked on, and worked on, and worked on and submit it for the contest. We give every story every consideration. We'd love to see what you've been working on!
