I'm not sure how lengthy they expect. Mine came in around 600 words I think.
I got the impression for this entry it was background for the character that won't be part of the main novel writing. I choose a format that told something about the protagonists life that won't come into the main story line stopping just short of what i plan to include.
Write something that you think will fit the contest piece and put it in. Worst that can happen is you won't win the contest round! I don't expect too but I thoroughly enjoyed coming up with it. And that is what I think the true prize here is. Doing something to help you come up with your character's life story that may lead to new ideas for the main work.
