Hello everyone!
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting out next creative writing competiton, Mastermind Season 8 on the discussion forums under “Mastermind” from Sunday October 20th at 12:00am EST to Tuesday November 5th at 11:59pm EST!
Mastermind Season 8 will last for two weeks and will consist of a single writing challenge.
Here is more information on the competition’s format and rules: https://www.mastermindbp.com/discussion-forum/official-mastermind-contests/read-here-first-new-format-and-rules-for-seasons-8
Each season, we will be posting four separate threads under “Official Mastermind Contests.” The Mastermind Season 8 Announcement Thread is the post you are reading at this moment.
During this season, the Mastermind Season 8 Submission Thread will be the place for any participant to turn in their submissions. The Mastermind Season 8 Discussion Thread will be the place for participants to ask questions about the writing challenge, or give peer feedback for others’ submissions.
At the end of each season, we will post the Mastermind Season 8 Results Thread, which will announce the winners and be a space for judges to provide constructive feedback and scores alongside the opportunity for any of the season participants to ask questions about their graded submissions.
At the end of the competition, we will contact you via email from info@mastermindbp.com if you are eligible to receive a prize. We will not use any other email address to give out the prizes.
All prizes come in the form of PayPal donations so you need to have an email that is connected to a PayPal account to receive the award(s).
The submission(s) with the highest average will win the 1st place $100 USD prize. The submission(s) with the second and third-highest averages will receive a $50 USD prize each.
