Each entry must consist of a single sentence, but you may submit as many entries as you wish.

Sentences may be of any length but we strongly recommend that entries not go beyond 50 or 60 words. Entries must be “original” (as it were) and previously unpublished.

Due to the volume of submissions, if your entry is more than one sentence or is missing a name or location it won't be considered.

The contest accepts submissions every day of the livelong year, but the deadline for each year's contest is June 30th.

Winners are announced in mid August. The 2021 winners were announced on August 13th.  

In keeping with the gravitas, high seriousness, and general bignitude of the contest, the grand prize winner will receive … an absolute pittance (and bragging rights).
