Your initiative is commendable but your demands are more like that of a slave driver considering the amount involved.

Do u realise that even with 5k, I can't celebrate after winning

You can celebrate with 10k smiley

Interested participants are to make their interests known by commenting their moniker with the hash tag #Stars Competition.

Deadline for registration ends on Wednesday 28th of June.


**MODIFIED**

As a result of the number of interested participants and all the feedback I received, I've decided to cut down on the stages to two.

The competition would now be divided into 2 stages

In the first stage, the writer is to write a story of 1000 words, original and never before published on any platform.

The second stage, the writer is to write a story of 250 words, also original and never before published on any platform.

Why the small number of words? that's because I'm looking for quality and creativity in the writers written words.




At the first stage, the writers would be given a topic to write on. However, it's up to them to use their creativity to write on their given topic.



The second stage however, the writer is given room to write on whatever they wish to write on. They are to write on their own ideas.



Out of all the interested and participating contestants, Only 7 contestants would progress from the first stage and their progress would be determined by a panel of judges of nairalanders.



The winners in the second/final stage would be determined by ME.

The winners would be given cash rewards as advertised above.

The remaining four(4) writers who progressed from the first stage would be given airtime gifts in appreciation of their sportsmanship.




The list of every one that's shown interest in the competition would be compiled on Thursday 29th of June with further instructions afterwards..

I'd like you to help in the process of choosing the panel of judges that would be kind enough to read through everyone's stories and pick the best.

I would like the panel of judges to comprise of 5 individuals. Me, taking a spot. And then, you're at liberty of taking a spot for yourself and picking out three remaining individuals who are willing to help with the judging process or just picking out 4 individuals besides yourself.

These individuals would receive airtime gifts from me at the end of the competition. Very small perhaps, but we can only hope for better times.

At the end of the first stage, the nominees would emerge from points from all five judges.

Each judge can only choose 7 stories at a time.

If the judges choose stories that are in conflicting number, further deliberation would be made to take into points like level of Grammer and grammatical errors.

Thank you. If you have any suggestions, I'll be more than happy to hear them.
