The FaithWriters.com Writing Challenge is a great way to develop your skill by writing to topic, word count, and deadline, at your own level of ability, while having FUN at the same time! You may even become a Challenge winner.
The current topic is Astonishment and there are 4 entries so far for this topic. Entries for this topic will close at 9:59 am next Thursday (EST).
Every week we announce a new topic and give you the opportunity to hone your talent as a writer by submitting an entry based on that subject.
Entries are then judged by a team of professional editors using eight specific rating categories. Each entry is judged on its own merits, based on those categories. You can find out more about the rating categories by visiting the FaithWriters' Message Boards.
The Writing Challenge is open to GOLD and PLATINUM members, with one entry allowed per member per topic.
The judges' highest rated entries for each topic will receive the EDITORS' CHOICE AWARD on their entry, and these winning entries may be published in upcoming FaithWriters' books.
The judges' five highest rated entries for each level of ability (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Masters) for each topic will receive a LEVEL CHAMPION AWARD on their entry. Please read our Guidelines for Choosing a Level before submitting your entry.
The highest ranked entry overall for each topic will then go in the running for the annual BEST OF THE BEST AWARDS, with three cash prizes on offer. The Best of the Best winners are announced on July 1 each year.
The Challenge is a lot of fun and very rewarding, as well as providing a way to connect with other writers and receive help and feedback. You can even join a Challenge Buddy/Critique group to help fine-tune your entry before submission. You can find out more about Challenge Buddy groups on the FaithWriters' Message Boards.
The Challenge does have a few rules, and it's important to read those before submitting your first entry (and a quick refresher for long time Challengeers never goes astray). You can read these rules HERE.
For more information about the Challenge, please read the HOW IT WORKS guide or visit the WRITING CHALLENGE FORUM on the FaithWriters' Message Boards for up to the minute information regarding rules, judging and results, as well as all the latest Challenge chat and FAQs.
Each topic runs for one week, with the winners announced HERE and on the FaithWriters' Message Boards in the WRITING CHALLENGE RESULTS FORUM. You will also find all the highest rankings for each level in that forum.
Submission Deadline:
Entries close on Thursday at 9:59 am EST, one week after the topic is announced, or when 200 eligible entries have been received for that topic. To keep track of closing dates for each topic, please visit the WRITING CHALLENGE GENERAL DISCUSSION FORUM on the Message Boards.
New topics are announced immediately after the previous topic closes. Winners for the closing topic will be announced one week later.
