How to Submit an Entry - The Rules
Submitting your story is easy!
All you have to do is e-mail it to us at submissions@creativewriterscircle.com .
But first, you'll need to read the rules to make sure that we can accept your entry.
Please read the rules carefully and follow the directions.
Contest Rules
Entries may be sent in the body of the e-mail or attached, whichever you prefer. If the entry is attached as a seperate document it must be saved with the .doc or .docx file extension. These are the only file extensions we will accept. If you can't comply, please just include your story in the body of the e-mail. Please include your name as you would want it to be displayed on our site if your entry wins and your story's title (if it has one) with your entry.
Entries must be the original, unpublished work of the entrant. By submitting your entry to the contest, you are verifying that the submitted work is your own and that it has never been published.
All entries must in the English language.
One entry per person, per each contest.

A minimum of 50 entries must be received in order for the contest to be judged and the prize awarded.
The winning story or stories will be featured on the Creative Writers' Circle website, along with the authors' names. When you submit your entry to us, you are agreeing to let us feature your story and your name on our website.
How will the prize be awarded?
If the winner has a paypal account, the full amount of the prize may be delivered via paypal. Alternatively, the winner may request a money order mailed to their address. A money order is only available to residents of the United States. If the winner resides outside of the US, paypal is the only payment method CWC will use. Don't worry if you don't have one though - creating a paypal account is easy!
Contest winners are responsible for paying any applicable taxes on the prize money they receive.
