Contest #songteen

In the art of music, the text is composed of a body different from that of writing. And among them are the stanzas; refrains and the charm of the chorus, being thus organized by the measures of the instruments used. However, a story and/or writing is composed of three parts: introduction, development or knot, and denouement. Create a short story based on a song you consider your favorite in the "teenage drama" genre. Create a story with a plot inspired by that song. You can include verses from the song or the name of the song within the story. Stories must be published on the platform with a description that announces it has been created to participate in the SongTeen contest. You can choose the story's genre, and use the Hashtag #Songteen. It has to be a brand new story (short story type) with a minimum length of two thousand words and a maximum of ten thousand. Prizes will go to the three best stories chosen by the qualifying jury. The winners will be announced through the Inkspired platform and on the platform's social networks. Instagram: @inkspiredambassadors Help us share the post/story so that many more writers can join in.

Stories #InAParallelUniverse

Many things have changed in recent months. The way we live, the way we make plans, where we can go, how we can go, and with whom. The world has been upside down and to distract us a little while many continue in partial "lockdown", let's create a story that is related in #InAParallelUniverse that narrates events that would have happened in an alternative reality to the current BUT taking into account current events of COVID-19 times. The contest, in addition, must follow two additional rules: 1) have at least 1 (or more) chapter(s) published every week throughout the month of June. 2) Use the hashtag of this contest. You can participate with stories with chapters, stories, comics, or interactive stories; and you can apply with multiple stories at the same time. The more stories you enter the contest, the more likely you are to win. The participant fee must have a minimum of 25 participants, and we will choose 3 different winners.
