Writing Competition: A New Dimension!
What is the writing competition?
As part of the Cubeville Art Slam, we are running a writing competition where players can submit creative writing projects based on a set writing prompt. You can use any writing style you like, so long as the story is based on the prompt set in this post. It could be a short story, a newpaper expose, poetry, theatrical script, etc. The competition opens Sunday 13th September 2020 and entries must be submitted by 11:59pm Saturday 26th September 2020, EST.
How do I enter?
Entry is simple, you just need to start a thread in this forum and put your writing submission in there. You can post it all at once, or you can make your thread and edit it/add to it over the course of the two weeks. Your writing will not be judged until after the submission deadline has passed so you are free to add/remove/change/draft as much as you like until that time. If you are unable to create a forums account yourself, you can ask someone else to submit on your behalf, they just need to clearly mark at the start of the thread who the author is.
What is the writing prompt?
Your writing must be based on the following writing prompt:
"A new, previously hidden, dimension is discovered. It is completely different to the overworld, end or nether."
Rules for entries
✩ Your submission must only be written by you.
✩ You may only make one entry.
✩ Your submission must be based on the writing prompt given, how you proceed from there is up to you.
✩ Your submission must be a minimum of 1000 words, and a maximum of 5000 words.
✩ If you are including any players from Cubeville in your writing, you must have their permission before including them.
✩ Submissions must be written in English, if you need help with translation that is fine, so long as the original writing is your own.
✩ Your submission must be original, all entries will be checked for plagiarism and any found not to be original will be disqualified.
How are entries judged?
There will be an open vote for all players to pick their top three entries, which will run for one week after the closing date. More details of how and where to vote will be made available nearer the time.
What can I win?
The prizes are as follows:
✩ 1st Place - Additional Ores Minirank / OR / Obsidian Placement Minirank / OR / 1000 cubes
✩ 2nd Place - Additional Logs Minirank / OR / Glass Placement Minirank / OR / 500 cubes
✩ 3rd Place - Additional Flint Minirank / OR / Mycelium Placement Minirank / OR / 250 cubes
Note that miniranks stay with you throughout map changes, whilst cubes are reset each map. You may want to take that into consideration when you choose your prize.
