I stumbled across this competition quite by accident but thought to myself its novel and while the money may not be that big, then neither is the entry fee and well it seems sort of fun
Here’s what you have to do. On the 1st of every month the contest promoters ‘Strictly Shakespeare,’ will leave a prose and poetry prompt on their website ‘Strictly Shakespeare,’ anyone wishing to enter will have two weeks to put their thoughts together and submit their work by the deadline on the 14 of each month.
Here’s the interesting part – the judging. The team at Strictly Shakespeare will choose what in their opinion is the ten best entries and then the public can have their say.
Selections are made this way. Every day one entry in each section will be knocked out due to public opinion. (The votes will be cumlative so if you don’t get a chance to vote each day, DON’T WORRY!)
After ten days the good folks at Strictly Shakespeare will have it down to a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd winner. The prize isn’t big you’ll get a share of the competition. However, Strictly Shakespeare are working to establish a fixed cash prize. It’s a bit of fun, give it a try.
