To win short story competitions, you need to pay attention to character development. Make your characters relatable and complex. Also, polish your writing style to make it clear and vivid.
As someone who loves reading novels, I don't have any real-time updates to answer your questions about the short story contest. However, you can follow the relevant novel websites or social media accounts to find out if they are holding a short story competition or essay contest and participating. Some novel websites would also regularly publish essay questions and competition requirements. You could read them carefully and participate in the competition if you met the requirements.
One popular one is the Young Writers' Award. It offers great opportunities for YA writers to showcase their talent. There's also the Teen Ink Contest, which gets a lot of entries each year. Both provide good platforms for young writers to get noticed.
Start with a unique and captivating idea. Make your characters relatable and the plot engaging. Pay attention to the language and keep it concise and vivid.
😋I recommend the following two novels to you:
1. League of Legends: Extreme Madman, written by the Wolf Moon Ancient Sword. This novel tells the story of a gaming genius who once dominated "DOTA" and returned to the competitive stage. It is worth reading.
2. If the author of "Dota Campus" was Hai Min, then he would choose Hai Min. The protagonist of the novel entered the school Dota world because of his loyalty. From then on, he began his growth in the school's Dota branch. It was very interesting.
I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
Once upon a Christmas, there was a small town where an annual award ceremony was held. The award was very prestigious. This year, a young girl named Lily was nominated. Lily was known for her kind heart. She had spent the whole year helping the poor in the town. On Christmas Eve, at the award ceremony, she won. It was like a Christmas miracle for her. Everyone cheered and it was the best Christmas gift she could have received.
It can be a great way to inspire others. Their success and the journey to get there can serve as a motivation for younger students or those who are facing similar challenges.
😋I recommend the following novel to you:
- " Undefeated Cultivation Upgrade ": The protagonist brings the cultivation system and acts arrogantly in the cultivation world. He kills monsters to level up, wins the alchemy competition, and becomes the hero in the powerful cultivation world!
- " I Only Want to Cultivate in the Buddhist Way ": The main character doesn't want to fight for hegemony. He only wants to cultivate in a plain way. He makes a living by refining pills and lies down leisurely. However, the environment forced him to adapt, making him from indecisive to decisive.
- " Immortal Poison Immortal ": The protagonist reincarnated and re-cultivated. He became an immortal existence in the world of self-cultivation by refining pills, arrays, and weapons. He had an indestructible body and his strength shocked the Primordial World.
- " This cheat is very fierce ": The protagonist has a super cheat. He can easily win alchemy competitions, martial arts, mining, and picking herbs, becoming the king of the battle energy world.
- The protagonist was a descendant of the Undead who had been lost for tens of thousands of years. In the era of the decline of martial arts, he used the five systems of Combat Energy, Magic, Martial Arts, Cultivation, and Magic Martial Arts to collide with each other and return to the peak of martial arts.
The above is my personal recommendation. I sincerely hope you like it.😗If you like my recommendations, please feel free to tell me.
