You should probably ask Tom or the mods if it's OK for you to do this, if you haven't done so already.

Honestly like the ideas and doubt it would concern Tom but talking to one of the mods for this thread would be a good idea. I would assume they will see the thread and check it out and take control as needed. I am wondering though, what could you do for prizes? Other thing is the due date; if this goes full swing, you should extend the time. The NWC was quite a bit longer and you saw how short most of those stories. Increasing the time will Get you better quality. And for turning them in for judging; we posting here or on the main thread with a tag, message them to you. Are you the only judge or are you going to recruit a judging panel? These things tend to be more thought out and organized then people imagine.

I haven't recruited any judges yet but I was planning on it, if I'm not able to get any judges I will do it myself. I guess your right on the due date, and I guess I will talk to a mod.

Well if you've got any advice or suggestions I'd like to hear them. I've never hosted one of these things so I have no idea how this is going to go. I've pmed a Mod. For the story board and let them know this is up, but I still don't have any judges.

Ok advice. Postpone this for a few weeks while you get stuff in order. Put up a judges application. Figure out prizes if any and let it be known what they are. Have written rules and guidelines well before it starts.

I wish everybody good luck and fine writing in this contest. Judging is definitely the big bugaboo, and one of the things the NWC struggles with too. Here's hoping that we see some really great entries. :)

There will be a poll set up on September 29th at 5:00...
Polls will close August 5th
Huh? Not sure what you mean here.

Anyway, I will not be submitting a story of my own. I lack the storytelling abilities that some of our fellow forumites posses. :potatoes: However, I probably will be one of the judges for this little competition, so I wish everyone good luck. I'll hold off on reading the submissions for a bit until we have a few entries up and posted. (and of course if anyone wishes to make some editions to their submission.)
