Disclosure Details:
All work that you submit is your own. It will not be copied, claimed, or distributed in any way except in the case of the 1st and 2nd place works. Both winners will have their submissions shared via this website, my Facebook, Goodreads (due to an automated RSS Blog feed from my website), and – dependent on permission – the /r/fantasywriters subreddit community. To restate, this sharing of work will only apply to the winners of the contest.
I reserve the right to review and rate all submitted works based on personal opinion. There are only two winners chosen out of all submissions. If your work did not result in the top two positions, do not take this to mean your piece was bad, just that I considered others better. You are always welcome to submit to future contests at any time for more chances to win prizes.
Prizes will be delivered electronically via e-mail.
