Tadpole Press 100-word Writing Contest - Nonfiction (Fiction) (Poetry)
Tadpole Press




Description
Note: submissions are taken on a rolling basis, so immediately after a submission deadline they are accepting submissions for the next window.

Pieces will be judged on creativity, uniqueness, and how the story captures a new angle, breaks through stereotypes, and expands our beliefs about what's possible or unexpectedly delights us. In addition, we are looking for clever or unique writing that inspires us and crafts a compelling and complete story.

The winning submissions will be nonviolent. You may deal with tough themes, but you must move on from there. Don’t dwell in misery. Show growth. If you're going to write about something painful, show how someone was transformed by the experience. Go for something that pulls on our heartstrings rather than breaks our hearts.


This market charges a fee of $15.00 to submit.
