Hello and welcome to the official writing contest thread for the Renaissance of Lumos event! This event has deep roots in the themes of renewal and healing. So the writing contest should also showcase these elements!

The theme of this writing contest is Renewal. Take this however you like, new interpretations are awesome as are twists and turns! There is a 1,000 word limit but don’t stress yourself if you go a few over (just be sure not to abuse this). The prizes are below:

1st place: 1,000 silver and your piece put up on Revaliir’s Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, and DeviantArt
2nd place: 500 silver
3rd place: 250 silver

This does not have to be set in Revaliir and does not have to include your character (yep, that means they can take place in modern times!). I want your full imagination for this and to see what you can do! Just remember to keep in line with the rules and not to go over an ‘R’ rating. If your entry will be rated ‘R’ please mark it at the beginning in parentheses (( )).

When you’re ready to submit your entry, please be sure to send them in a PM directly to my main Naota account; do not post your entry up on this thread please. There is a limit to one entry per person, not account. This will be judged on 4 different categories:

- Grammar
- Creativity
- Interpretation of the theme
- Story flow

Each category can earn up to 5 points with the highest score being 20. Remember, all and all this is about having fun! I’m very excited to see what each of you can do and can’t wait to read :3

Let the writing begin!
