The 2012 LDS Publisher Story Contest is now closed.
Stories for this year’s contest will start posting on Tuesday, December 4th.
Voting will begin December 17th.
Want to start on your story for next year’s contest?? Here are the guidelines.
Someone sent a story for the contest last week and I didn’t get it. They resent. Wise. I got it the second time.
If you sent a story and didn’t get a reply, first check your spam/junk folder. If it’s not in there, resend.
I will try to stay close to my email today and respond promptly but I do have a day job that requires a minimum of my attention. (Shhh. Don’t tell my boss I said that.) Be patient.
If you don’t get your reply email by about 7:00 p.m. tonight, resend.
No, I will not be staying up until midnight to respond to emails, so those of you who wait until the last minute will have to find out tomorrow morning if your story made it.
That’s right.
See this countdown?
It stops at midnight, mountain time.
What? You’re going to give up because you haven’t even started yet?
Some of my best work is done at the last minute because it forces me to turn off that internal editor.
Give it a try! You can do it!
Yes! There’s only one more full day plus a few more hours to get your story in.
See that countdown in the sidebar?
That’s exactly the amount of time you have left.
Come on! I know you can do it!!
It’s only Tuesday!
You have three full days and a handful of hours to write and submit a story to the 2012 Christmas Story Contest.
No excuses!
Get that story done and submitted!
It’s Monday!
What better way to kick off a new week than to write a Christmas story?
It can be sensitive or silly, hilarious or heart-warming.
There’s still time to create and polish up that story and enter the contest!
It was brought to my attention that apparently I can’t count.
Nor can I read a calendar.
Okay. So. Bottom line is: You still have plenty of time to enter the 2012 Christmas Story Contest!
Spread the word!
Nag your writer friends!
Let’s get some competition going!!!
Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to polish up that Christmas story and get it submitted!
Time is almost up—only six more days to get your story done.
So far, I only have four submissions so your chances of winning one of the four honors are high!
I finally got the buttons done. Copy the code from one of the boxes below and paste it into an HTML widget in your sidebar or blog post. Once pasted into the widget code box, you’ll need to replace all the quotation marks (delete & retype) to make it work correctly. (I can’t figure out how to get the the code to work right in a WordPress post. Sorry.) When someone clicks the image it will take them to the Story Contest Info post here.
Drum roll, please… It’s time for the 6th Annual LDS Publisher Christmas Short Story Contest.
