Round 5-A: Events & Prompts
Shoes of a Unicorn Writing Contest | Round Eleven | Closed for JudgingPRELIMINARIES:
EVENTS & PROMPTS
INFORMATION
There are five solo event categories you have the option of choosing from. Each category has a corresponding set of prompts that you will choose from. You may use as many prompts as you'd like in your entry, as long as they are all in the same category. You may also enter as many solo events as you believe you can handle. Five of the nine finalists will be chosen from the solo events. The contestants whose entries score the highest in each category will advance to Round 5-B.
The bonus event category is the relay. I originally wanted this to be the main event, but then I realized that would be logistically impractical. The bonus category is run the same way that the solo categories are, with its own set of prompts. The difference is that you will be placed into teams of four, based on your event preferences. However, unlike with the solo events, you will only be allowed to join one relay event, so please choose wisely. After you submit the relay event entry form, I will PM you with the usernames of your team members. It is then up to you four to create a team name and coordinate a series of stories that somehow connect, using as many prompts as you wish. The members of the winning relay team will be the remaining four finalists who advance to Round 5-B.
