How to Submit

First, write your entry and save it as a static item to your portfolio. 

Please do not use a book entry.
The first line of your item should tell us how you measured the number 23 (words, lines, syllables, etc). Integer multiples of 23 are acceptable here.
Be sure to include the phrase "Happy Birthday WDC" somewhere in your item.
Don't exceed the maximum word count of 2,300.
Title, author byline, and how you measured 23 do not count against the maximum word count.  Do not count these as part of how you measured the number 23.
You may, at your discretion, include the phrase "Happy Birthday WDC" as part of how you measured the number 23.
Be sure your item is set to public and that reviews are allowed.

To submit your item, post a new message to this forum as follows.

The SUBJECT of your post should include the number of GPS in your entry fee and whatever kind of entry you are submitting.

The BODY of your message should be a link to your entry in GENRE format, (G-item) along with your chosen GP Entry Donation.
