Group-Sponsored Crime Without Guns Contest
Details
| Deadline: | Oct 10, 2015 |
| Fee: | Free |
The Scrib UK Group is running a short story contest on the subject of ‘Crime without guns’. Any type of crime is allowed and there is no restriction on setting, or historical period, but mention of guns is prohibited, and will lead to disqualification. Originality is encouraged, but bear in mind you still need to keep the judges hooked on your story right up to its climax.
If your story contains sex and/or violence, remember to use the adult tag. Extreme gore isn’t encouraged.
The group has been extremely generous with its karma donations, and the prizes are mouth-watering.
