IT’S not too late to become September’s literary prize-winning sensation in the kingdom.
Keen writers in Bahrain have the chance to publish their work on GDN Media’s sensational social media platform www.GDNlife.com
Adult wordsmiths compete for a monthly BD25 prize and one talented child will walk away with a pair of Cineco movie tickets. Both winning stories will also be announced in the GDN and all our social media platforms.
Winning stories, of no more than 800 words, will then compete for an annual GDNlife Short Story of the Year prize trophy … and even entries that do not win the judges’ approval could still walk away with an accolade – The GDNlife People’s Choice Award – for receiving the most views and likes.
GDN Managing Editor and GDNlife administrator Stanley Szecowka said: “All writers dream of having their work published and our community platform offers a unique opportunity for them to shine and win prizes!”
For the adult competition, GDNlife has teamed up with the Bahrain Writers Circle, to judge the entries.
The children’s category (age up to 17), again open to locals and expats, will be judged by a team of English teachers and GDNlife administrators.
The competition is now open. Simply write your short story of no more than 800 words and post it in the SHORT STORY section of GDNlife after registering on the platform. Clearly state the category: Adult or U18.
Winners will be announced early every month on the platform, in print and online.
All entries submitted will be considered, so if your entry does not win this month, it may pick up a prize in the future.
Please choose an image to highlight your words and title your piece Short Story Entry with your name and category. Get writing ... you could be a winner!
