$1000 Erotic Fiction Story Contest

$1000 Erotic Fiction Story Contest
There's one guideline that will save us both some time. If you are writing about something that is illegal, don't bother submitting your story. I know, I know, it's suppose to be a fantasy, but we can't publish stuff like that.

Who is eligible

Any adult from anywhere on the planet may enter the Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest. Past winners came from New Zealand, France and Germany. Prizes are awarded in US currency (sorry). This means you can live anywhere and we will get your check to you if you win, but you must be at least 18 years old to enter.

Limited Submission Entries

Publication slots will be filled as stories pass the initial content review. Once the submission quota is filled, those submissions will be scheduled for voting, the author notified and entries closed.

Grand Prize

One story will win the grand prize. The Grand Prize Winner is eligible to receive their pick of either $1000 cash prize OR up to $2000 in product prizes. Only weekly winners are eligible to win the Grand Prize.

We are looking for great erotic writing. That is the single most important criteria. Our general guideline is 3,000 words, but this is not a limit. The only limit we have is the quality of the work and quality is usually apparent in the first sentence.

Only Original Unpublished Work

Authors must submit original unpublished work. Any unnoted use of another author’s work or submission of an already published story will disqualify the author. If you are unsure if you've already published it on the web, check Copyscape.
