User blog:Banningk1979/New Contest! June-July 2015 Demon/Devil Writing Challenge!

June/July 2015 Demon/Devil Contest, Hosted and Judged by Banningk1979
Hey folks, Banning here with a the next exciting writing challenge here on Creepypasta Wiki!

I thought this one up a while back and finally have found a good gap between other contests to make the official announcement. So, without further delay, here are the details!

This contest will call upon users to submit to me their best Demon and or Devil centered pastas. The contest officially begins now, with the posting of this blog, and entries will be accepted until July 15th, 2015. This contest is open to ALL USERS, regardless of user rights. New users all the way up to the B'Crats are welcomed to join in the demonic fun!

The Challenge
The challenge is to write a pasta with the focus being demons or devils. The concept and execution is totally up to the writer. I will be placing very minimal restrictions as far as content goes, as I want this to be a free exchange of creativity. Since I am not assigning any specific assignment for writing, the choice is all yours in what to write about. In other words, no need to do the typical "I'm in" and wait for a response from me. You can start writing as soon as you like, and just post the link in the comments section of this blog.

With that said, the story doesn't have to specifically be about a demon, it can be about any subjects where demons or devils are the main plot point, a few ideas that pop to mind:

-Evil demons

-Demons trying to be good

-Demons trying to be worse

-Demon worship/cults

-Demon mythos

-Demon love stories

-Succubus/Incubus/Rank Structure of Hell

The ideas are pretty wide open.

Judging
All entries will be judged by myself between July 15th and July 28th, at which time winners will be announced. If anyone is interested in being an assistance judge, I would potentially be interested in taking on about 2 other members to help. Just be aware that being an assistant judge will bar you from entering the contest.

I will be judging based on the following:

-Creativity

-Quality of story and plot

-Quality of character development and progression

-Creepiness (Obviously)

The Prize
The prize you ask?

The winning author will be given two options for the prize, either an automatic place as the August 2015 Spotlighted Pasta, or an automatic nomination for August 2015 Pasta of the Month. The choice for prize is up the winner. 2nd, 3rd place and runner ups will receive a spot of honor in a blog as well as a spot on my profile. I will also share and promote winners on my social media (Twitter, Facebook etc) to help being exposure to your stories.

Contest Rules and Restrictions
The few restrictions that are in place:

''-All entries must be posted to this site, therefore, all submissions must meet the CP Wiki Quality Standards. ''

''-Please post links to your stories in the blog comments. ''

-Please place a header on your story announcing it as an entry into this contest.

-Please use the by-user option and credit yourself on your work!

''-As far as NSFW entries go. Since the prize here is a front page spotlight or a nomination for PoTM, it is very important that you remember that extremely NSFW pastas are generally disqualified from those positions. Now, I am not saying this to try and water down the stories, as I want everyone to be as creative as possible, I am just making you all aware that stories that are too over the top in the NSFW category will not be able to be considered for the top prize.''
