The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. ๐
We are returning to our old arrangement of Genre + Theme for our prompt structure. We are still experimenting and seeing what works to produce the best writing contest on Hive.
The contest duration is much shorter now also, please check the deadline date carefully.
Thank you for your continuous feedback! Your support is what makes this competition possible.
The winners will be announced in two weeks. Winners of what? An astute question. The prizes are as follows:
๐ฅ Gold: 2 HSBI, 300 Ecency points, 50 SCHOLAR, 3 SCRIBE
๐ฅ Silver: 1 HSBI, 200 Ecency points4, 40 SCHOLAR, 2 SCRIBE
๐ฅ Bronze: 100 Ecency points, 30 SCHOLAR, 1 SCRIBE
๐๏ธ Runner(s) Up: Valuable goodies!
