HAVE A STORY? WANNA GET PAID?
Well you are in the right place. Enter our quarterly competition for a chance to win yourself $100!
The deadline for this quarter's competition is March 1st, 2010.
Competition Information:
The XtremeTravelStories.com quarterly writing competition is a skill-based contest where participants submit either a travel story or free-lance report in any language, topic or category the author desires.
The finalists of each cash prize give-away are decided by you, the viewer. At the end of each deadline, our staff will multiply the number of votes by the average 5-star rating found under the story or free-lance report's tittle (5 stars is the highest while 1 is the lowest possible score). The points of this equation make a total score. (For example, if a particular story has 10 votes with an average 5-star score of 4, the author's total is, you guessed it, 40). The top three highest scored stories and/or reports will be reviewed by our team of professional editors to democratically decide which author deserves the $100 first place grand prize. If there is a tie amongst more than three stories and/or reports, then all will qualify as finalist.
The winner will be announced no later than ten (10) days after the deadline and will be notified through e-mail first before being displayed publicly on XtremeTravelStories.com. The 100 USD will be awarded to participant through PayPal, therefore it is necessary for the winning author to have a PayPal account.
"Xtreme" is loosely defined by the author and can constitute an array of meanings. Basically, our editors are looking for creativity, originality and good writers with unique styles. Keep in mind, XTS is a site dedicated to travel stories and reports that you won't find anywhere else. So, remember this when submitting stories and/or free-lance reports because it'll only increase your chances getting published or, perhaps more importantly, 100 dollars richer.
The XTS staff will coordinate with said winners to best accommodate payment transfer. By accepting payment, the author grants XTS permission to post the winning piece for a maximum of six months or until the conclusion of the next contest.
