Textnovel Contest

04 April 2010
Textnovel Contest
DESCRIPTION OF CONTEST AND CONTEST PERIOD

The Contest is for the "best" textnovel story or novel, as determined in the sole discretion of the Textnovel editorial advisory board. Eligible Textnovel stories must be in English and can be submitted and created online, by email or by text from a cell phone, and may include images and/or illustrations. The Contest begins on January 1, 2010 and runs until midnight Mountain Time (U.S.) on August 31st, 2010 (the "Contest Period"). Each participant may submit one Basic Story and an unlimited number of Premium Stories during this period, each of which is deemed an entry. However, in order to qualify for the Contest, each story must have at least 50,000 words by Midnight Mountain Time on August 31st, 2010. To be eligible to win the Contest, your Textnovel account information must include your correct and full name and a valid e-mail address. You must also be in compliance with the Textnovel Terms of Use. If Textnovel determines, in its sole discretion, that your story contains content or images not in compliance, your story will not be eligible for the Contest. No particular format for the story is required for the Contest but authors are encouraged to include breaks between paragraphs and keep sentences and paragraphs reasonably short so that stories are easier to read online or by cell phone.

ENTRY

To enter the Contest, you must register as a Textnovel member at www.textnovel.com (the "Site"). You may then enter no more than one Basic Story in the Contest but you may enter an unlimited number of Premium Stories. You can enter your stories from the My Library page (functionality for doing this will be available by January 1, 2010) and this must be done before August 31st, 2010. All submissions are subject to the submission requirements stated in the Terms of Use.

The prize for the Contest is $1,000 cash.
