The Bloggers Bash writing competition was so popular last year that the committee is bringing it back (with a slight difference) for 2018.
As you may have noticed, there’s another exciting event happening in London the same day as our Bloggers Bash. Although it won’t be as much fun as our event, the news of a Royal Wedding has undoubtedly given us a lot to think about.
So, the Bloggers Bash Blog Post Competition 2018 is on the theme of ‘Royalty.’ You’ve got a maximum of 300 words to share a flash fiction story, anecdote, poem, or another piece of work or writing on the theme of royalty. You might be inspired by Harry and his princess, or by the venue of this year’s Bloggers Bash (George IV). Or you might have another idea in mind. If you’re a photographer, then publish a post that includes photos of what ‘Royalty’ means to you.
The Cost: £5 per entry or £8 for two entries – all proceeds go to funding The Bloggers Bash, payment accepted through PayPal only, at the bottom of the post.
IMPORTANT – How to submit: Publish your entry(ies) on your blog and then drop an email to annualbloggersbash@yahoo.co.uk with the following information:
- The link to your blog post(s)
- The word count of all the words (excluding the title) in your post
- Your name
- Your Twitter Handle
- The identification number on your PayPal payment.
Use the email subject title: BB Blog Post Competition
Prizes
1st prize is a £100 Amazon gift card and a winner’s trophy
2nd prize is a £30 Amazon gift card
3rd prize is a £15 Amazon gift card
