About
the Contests
All contest entries
will be read and evaluated “blindly.” Judges will not
know who wrote a story while they evaluate it. (See
Contest
Rules.) Only after the
winning stories have been chosen will judges find out who wrote the
stories so we can contact the authors, work with them on editing
their story, and pay them.
To learn more, read Contest Rules
and
Hints for
Winning. To learn how and why we
edit your stories after you win, read What
if I Win?
All hope is not lost if your entry fails to win, either. You have a
chance to find out why it
didn’t win, if you want.
