Lake Covington Romance Writing Competition
The couple featured on the web site will have names, occupations, and blurbs about each that will act solely as a springboard for your creative minds to get the romance cooking.
The trope will be a classic romance trope, such as Fish Out of Water, that is used predominately throughout the genre. You’ll be given a brief explanation of the trope along with some examples to help get you on track. The examples are NOT a reflection of what we are looking for. Their only purpose is to ensure you have a good understanding of the trope that you have been assigned.
Entering the Lake Covington SMOLDR Contest is as painless as getting bitten by the love bug.
First, you click the "Enter Contest" button at the upper-right hand side. From there, you’ll click the link, enter your address, and pay your contest entry of $5.
Once you have your couple, trope, and location, it is up to you to create the best romance story for our couples that leaves us breathless and wanting more. We ask that your stories must be no more than 5,000 words. Anything over will be instantly disqualified.
There
will be 18 winning stories. Of those, we will have three overall winners who
will receive a cash prize. First place $500. Second place $250. Third place
$100.
Deadline is April 28, 2019
