Short Story & Poetry Competitions:
To celebrate the birth of www.bluethumbnail.com we are organizing our first bluethumbnail competitions; one for short stories and the other for poems; both with the theme…
BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE
What do you see or hear when you read that word?
Create something bluer than blue.
Short Stories:
We are looking for well written stories; surprising, subtle and playful, with characters that could walk of the page. Experiment if you like, but you must convince your readers. We want to be swept off our feet.
Original stories, please, of maximum 3000 words.
Closing date is January 2nd, 2011.
Entrance fee is £6 (£3 for bluethumbnail.com members)
The writers of the top twenty entries will be offered a one year FREE membership to www.bluethumbnail.com and their stories will be posted on the site.
The Winner of the 1st prize will be offered a FREE PLACE at our one week WRITER’S RETREAT by the sea in Greece in 2011/ 2012.
The second prize consists of 5 FREE sessions of ‘tutoring online’. You can either follow the tutoring program or get editorial feedback on your work from a published author.
Our 5 runners-up will be offered a 50% discount at the WRITERS RETREAT in Greece or a free online session of Personal Tutoring or Feedback on written work.
Poetry:
We are looking for original work, surprising, subtle and playful; dark as the sea or light as the sky; or light as the sky and dark as the sea, whichever seems right to you: We want to be swept off our feet.
