The Literotica Annual Winter Holidays Contest is the last of special annual Lit contest of 2024. Unlike the monthly contests, the special contests challenge writers to create compelling, fun tales on a theme. This time, the theme is seasonal holidays and winterrelated events.
If you’d like to participate in this contest, please read this entire post. If you don’t read the whole thing, you may miss out on important rules, rendering your ineligible for the contest!
You can begin submitting on (or before): November 11
The last day to submit is: December 6 at 11:59pm EST
Winners will be announced on: December 13
This contest will coexist with the usual monthly contest. A may only win one or the other, not both contests simultaneously. The prizes for the top 3 stories will be the same as those awarded in the monthly contests:
First Place: $150 Cash Prize
Second Place: $100 Cash Prize
Third Place: $75 Cash Prize
Submit your contest in via your Control Panel New form, just as you would any .
All rules for the monthly contests are in place. Like the Monthly contests, you can submit as many entries as you like. And like the Monthly contests, only one of your stories can place in the contest that is, if you author the top two highest voted stories, only the top one will be eligible.
The only exceptions to the rules are:
• All submissions must be standalone stories created for this contest theme. We will not accept individual chapters of a larger work submitted separately. If you have a multichaptered contestthemed submission, please submit all chapters together as one submission.• We will allow authors who have won in our monthly contests within the last 6 months to win in this special contest. However, if you have won a prize in one of the last two special contests, you are not eligible to win in this one.• A has only to accrue 25 votes to be eligible, rather than the 50 required for the monthly contest.
The following guidelines also apply:
• Author must copy and paste the phrase “WINTER HOLIDAY 2024” to the “Notes to Admin” field of the submission (quotes are not needed).Again PLEASE do not forget to put the EXACT phrase “WINTER HOLIDAY 2024” IN THE “Notes to Admin” FIELD NOT the description field or anywhere else. In fact, we recommend that you copy and paste to avoid typos. If it is not in the NOTES field – or if it’s typoed we cannot easily find your and it may not be approved in a timely manner to be entered into the contest!!• Submissions must have a Winter Holiday theme: i.e. holiday celebrations, winter weather (will be different in north and south hemispheres!), winter events and superstitions, all things Wintery. Be creative! Please don’t just submit a normal in which everyone is wearing a Santa hat. That would not be in the spirit of the contest, and readers (aka voters) will likely punish you for your trickiness.
Any that meets the above criteria will be automatically entered into the contest. Winners will be decided by reader input (aka votes).
Visit the Winter Holidays Official Support Thread, hosted by Duleigh for more info and of course support and encouragement from your fellow authors.
Important Note: Once your is submitted, it may take over 72 hours for it to be posted, or may be sent back to you for clarification/mending. We strongly suggest that you do not wait till the last day of the contest to submit your . The sooner you submit, the better chance your has of accruing the votes necessary to be eligible.
Good luck, and have fun!
