Every other month, Writer's Digest presents a creative challenge for fun and prizes. We'll provide a short, open-ended prompt. In turn, you'll submit a short story of 750 words or fewer based on that prompt. You can be funny, poignant, witty, etc.; it is, after all, your story. The winner will receive publication in an upcoming issue of Writer's Digest.

Whidbey Writing Competition. This contest from Whidbey Writers Workshop in the USA is open worldwide and is for fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry and writing for children or young adults. Up to 1,000 words. I should point out that they have a rather strange - and if I may say so lazy - way of selecting a winner for this one. The judge reads submissions until he or she finds one that ‘knocks his/her socks off’. Never mind that the next one might have divested the judge of his/her pants and woolly vest, the remaining entries are tossed aside without so much as a glance. However, you can submit you entry again if it isn’t selected (try to get it in early, as entries are read in order of submission).
Closing: Monthly.
Prize: $50.
Entry Fee: None - free to enter.

Acclaimed by screenwriters and industry professionals…
“Hollywood’s top screenwriting contest!” On behalf of our Judges and our Administrative Staff, I invite you to enter the 2011 PAGE International Screenwriting Awards competition!! This is our 8th anniversary year, and the stakes are higher than ever. This year we will be presenting a total of over $50,000 in Cash and Prizes – including our huge $25,000 Grand Prize – plus Gold, Silver and Bronze Prizes in ten different genre categories.
Most importantly, each year dozens of top producers, agents, and development execs ask to read our winning screenplays. As a result, many of our winning writers land script assignments, secure representation, and sign option agreements on their work, and several now have movies in various stages of production and release.
Are you our next Award-Winning Screenwriter?
Please take a moment to read more about the 2011 PAGE Awards Contest, our great Prizes and Success Stories. And get the inside scoop from ten of our top Judges as they take you behind the scenes and reveal exactly how they evaluate scripts for our screenwriting competition, as well as for their various studios, agencies and production companies, in our great new eBook The Insiders’ Guide to Screenwriting.
Then, when your script is ready…
