Holiday contest for readers' tales

Advertiser Staff

Each Christmas, Island Life's gift to its readers is the Holiday Fiction Contest — a pair of stories written by readers, one for adults, one suitable for reading aloud to children and both written in an uplifting mode.

The winners in each category win $200, and the stories will be published on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in the Island Life section, illustrated by our art department.

CONTEST RULES

Word count limit: 1,500 words.

Stories — fictional or fact-based — must be the author's own work. Winners will be required to sign a fee-for-service contract attesting to that fact and granting The Honolulu Advertiser the right to publish the story and place it online.

Judges' decision is final. Employees of The Honolulu Advertiser may not enter.

Manuscripts or e-mails must include name, address, daytime telephone and e-mail address. No pen names, please. Manuscripts or e-mails must be labeled "adult" or "children's."

Deadline: Postmarked or e-mailed on or before Nov. 30.

Send stories to: Holiday Fiction, Island Life, Honolulu Advertiser, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, HI 96802. Or e-mail to islandlife@honoluluadvertiser.com, with Holiday Fiction in the subject line.
