Deadline: July 31, 2020
Entries are invited for the Biopage Storytelling Writing Contest 2020. We are in the age of social media. It is everywhere, around us, mostly pictures and videos. To communicate with clarity and depth, nothing is better than the real language, with words. Writing skill is essential to success in life and career.
Biopage is hosting a writing contest to remind people the benefits of writing. Each story is limited to 5,000 characters or roughly 1,000 words. You can write about good life experience, or bad, embarrassing, frightening ones.
At this moment we are in this COVID-19 pandemic. As the coronavirus continues to spread and keep people at home, you as a writer should write down your experience of quarantine life. Tell your stories in words and pictures: pantry inventories, window views, workout routines, neighbors helping neighbors, homeschooling activities… Or more dramatic: fighting the virus yourself, sick family member at home or hospital, treating patients as a healthcare provider, dealing with pain losing a friend.
Prizes
- One winner will receive $1,000.
- Three runners-up can win $200 each.
Eligibility
- The contest is open to anyone from everywhere, every country, every corner of the world.
- Each story (or once chapter of your stories) is limited to 5,000 characters or roughly 1,000 words.
