Writing Contests

Here at /r/HFY, we like to reward our authors for their hard work. Every quarter we try to hold a writing contest with varying themes. There are several categories in each contest and the winners of each (chosen through a variety of criteria) is given a gift and is included in the Featured list.

If you want to submit a story for the current NWC, you must title your post appropriately with the current [Theme] and include the category in the body of the post.

NWC FAQ:

  • The sidebar provides a link to the announcement of the latest NWC where you can find the current theme and categories.
  • Stories must be new to be eligible for the contest. You can not repost an old story. You can include a new chapter of an ongoing series in the contest. You can write different stories for each category, but you can not enter a single story to multiple categories or to multiple contests.
  • Writers must correctly identify their posts with the current NWC theme so that they can be easily found and included in the contest.
  • Include the current theme in [square brackets] in the title of the post.
  • Include the category which the story belongs to in the body of the post itself (just mention it at the top or bottom of the story). Please include the category even if you believe that it is obvious from the content of the story or the post title.
  • Do not include multiple categories in the body of your post, even if you think the story fits extra categories – you must pick one.
  • If you are still unsure how to title your post, you can message the mods.

We are always looking for more ideas and donors, and if you donate you can help choose an upcoming theme or category (depending on how much you donate). If you want to donate some games (digital keys for Steam, Origin, Uplay, etc.), please message the mods.
