The deadline for submissions is May 1, 2024! Below, find details about each category.
Short Story: must not exceed 4,000 words

Submit through this link!
Is there a specific font we need to use
No! As long as the font is readable that’s all that matters.
How big should the font be?
There are no specific constraints on font size. Generally, somewhere around 12 pt font is best.
OK, thank you.
For the blog and multimedia, would a Lego animation work?
Hi Ruhaan! The art must be able to be printed, so animation might not be best for this contest. However, you can definitely submit the animation to the blog.
Hi ,
I missed this contest. I was submitting things for the monthly flash contest when I realized that an opportunity existed. When will the next contest deadline be, please?
Thank you, Mihaela
