The Pub Fest USA writing contest is short story contest
where authors can win a cash prize and The Pub Fest
USA Award. There will be an award for each city that
Pub Fest is held. For instance if the festival is
in Dallas then the award will be the Dallas Pub Fest
Award. The contest is simple: authors can
submit a short story online for fans to judge. The stories will be posted online
anonymously while the judging is talking place. This
will be done through a poll on the Pub Fest USA
website. After the judging is done fans will be able
to see who the authors of the stories are. The
winner will be announced at Pub Fest. Anybody
can enter, but an author is only allowed to submit
their story at one Pub Fest event. If an author
would like to enter more than one Pub Fest
writing contest in the different cities where Pub Fest
is held then they have to submit a different story
for each contest.
Now there are certain requirements to
the short story. First, it cannot be pornographic;
these kinds of stories will not be accepted. Second,
the story you submit cannot be plagiarized in
anyway. If we find that your story is plagiarized
then it will not be accepted. Third the story has to
be exactly 2,000 words, no more and no less. The
title does not count as part of the word count and
“The End” will not count as well. The writing
contest is more than just submitting a story. It’s
a challenge for any writer too be
concise and to make a story have all the elements of
being great within a certain word count. The Pub
Fest Writing Contest is a writing challenge for
authors to be the best they can be at their craft.
