![]() A huge thank you to Dee ![]() ![]() In the spirit of Dia de los Muertos and Samhain, I wanted to create something that honors those who have passed on. Since we are all writers here, paying tribute through our writing is one of the best gifts we can give a loved one. So, for this contest, I would like you to pen a non-fictional poem and/or a short story about someone important in your life that has passed on. Remember, this is a celebration of their life, which means the main focus of your entry must be how their life affected you in a positive way, rather than focusing on the sadness from the loss. ![]() Contest Rules ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Awards 1st place- 25k exclusive ribbon and a fitting merit badge (Must have 3 or more entries) 2nd place- 10k ribbon and a fitting merit badge (Must have 5 or more entries) 3rd place- 10k ribbon or a fitting merit badge (Must have 7 or more entries) If there are enough entries all three awards will be given in both poetry and short story categories.

All donations will go to the Distorted Minds Contest bank. Since this is a once a year contest, I figured they could share spaces. If you would like to make a donation, you may do so by posting in the forum. Those who donate 40k or more will receive either a merit badge they don't have or a 10k ribbon.
