About the event

WINDOWS INTO THE MULTIVERSE WRITING CONTEST

The photo found on the Contests page of our website is what I prefer to call a “Window”. In a way paintings, photos, and other visual arts are “Windows” into another space. Whether it is in the artist’s mind or a recreation of an actual place, these “Windows” allow us to pause for a moment and see someone else’s view. Why the “Multiverse” then? Many authors use paintings, photos, and other visual arts in order to inspire them to create whole new universes and times for us to enjoy. When you look at the image where do you go? Where are you looking from? What does this image say to you?

This popular contest is a of staple our magazine and will continue to accept submissions quarterly in the months of January, April, July, and October.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

You are asked to write a micro-story beginning with “Through the window, I saw...” using the photo on the Contests page of our website as inspiration. The only restriction on your creativity is that you keep your micro-story clean. All genres are accepted. Submissions are open in January, April, July, and October. Please keep your submission to between 1,000 and 1,500 words. To submit your story fill out the form HERE. We will not use your micro-stories without your permission and the winner/s will be sent pages for approval. The winners will appear in that season's edition along with the image on this page. Depending on the number of submissions we receive, there will be either winners in several genre categories OR an overall winner. Winners will be announced on November 7th. Each winner or the overall winner will receive a $20 Amazon gift card, a printable winner’s certificate, a 3D-printed “medallion”, and an author feature ($40 value).* The winners will be decided by the Clean Fiction staff and excerpts of each submission may be used for promotional purposes. We cannot wait to read what you write about this new image and are excited to read your submissions!

SUBMIT YOUR STORY HERE!

* Prizes will not be distributed until after the magazine goes to print. Medallions are only shipped in the continental United States.
