Attention all High School students in the Bucks County Area!
Do you like to write? Are you interested in sharing your short fiction story? Would you like to win up to $200 worth of a visa gift card?
Then the short fiction contest is for you! The contest is organized by Elizabeth Luciano who is a Language and Literature professor here at Bucks. The short fiction contest is supported by Bucks County Community College’s Language and Literature Department.
Entries begin on March 13th and a link to the application will be posted in English classrooms throughout high schools in the Bucks County area. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, April 23rd.
If you are looking to submit a piece of short fiction to the contest, make sure you have 5-10 pages double spaced. No AI is allowed, just your work. Each person is allowed to submit one piece of a short fiction story they have written. All the submissions will be online and the actual celebration for the winners will be hosted shortly after the deadline of April 23rd.
If you are wondering what kind of work you should submit, any genre is allowed if it fits into the short fiction category and isn’t longer than 10 pages. Fan fiction is not allowed to be submitted. Make sure it is your own creative work only.
Once you submit your short fiction piece to the contest, you will be entered into a chance to win a prize up to $200. There are three different prizes for the top three winners. The 1st place winner is able to win a $200 visa gift card, 2nd place winner can win a $100 visa gift card and 3rd place can win a $50 visa gift card.
“The short fiction contest has been going on since 2017,” Elizabeth Luciano described in the interview. This is a great opportunity to be able to share your short fiction story and get your creative juices flowing. Not only do you have the chance to possibly win a gift card, but it would also be something interesting to add to your college applications.
