I'm not sure specifically as I don't know which 'the contest short story' you are referring to. It could be about a competition, perhaps a writing contest where the story itself is either the entry or about the experiences within the contest.
Sure. One winner might have written a story about a young girl's journey in a rural village, facing hardships but still finding hope. Maybe she overcame poverty to pursue her dreams of education. Another could be a story centered around an old man's memories and how they connected a community.
Another option is to search for news articles or blogs that covered the contest. These sources often feature summaries or excerpts from the winners' stories. You can use search engines and type in relevant keywords like 'Write India Contest winners' stories' to find such resources.
Well, for a YA short story contest, common requirements include a word count range, like 3,000 to 8,000 words. Also, the story might need to fit within a given genre or topic. And often, there are rules about originality and submission format.
First, have a clear understanding of the contest theme. Then, do extensive research if needed. Polish your writing, check for grammar errors, and make the story emotionally resonant with readers.
Well, in a short story, the idea that 'in war there are no winners' is a profound one. War brings death and destruction everywhere. Let's say the short story is about two neighboring countries at war. One country might seem to win on the battlefield, but they lose in terms of morality. They have killed innocent people. And the losing side, well, they have lost their land, their people, and their hope. There's also the long - term impact like hatred and grudges that will last for generations, so clearly, no one really wins in war.
