Autumn Contests

I hope that all of you have had a great week. Things have been busy around here, but when is it not busy this time of year? Fall is not my favorite season, but the leaves changing color is pretty spectacular. I know that many of you are outside the eastern United States. What is the weather like in your neck of the woods? I pray that all of you are staying safe with all the crazy weather that our world has been experiencing. In the midst of darkness, God will continue to light the way.

Below I have an update on all of our contests, enjoy.

Cover Design Contest: We have 4 submissions for this contest so far. The deadline is October 15th (Just two days away!) so tell your artist friends not to wait! More information can be found on our "Contests" page.

Announcements: We only have 3 sponsorship spots left. So if you were thinking about being a contest sponsor (at only $25) don't wait too long. There are 2 spots open for the Cover Design Contest and one for the Christmas Bookstagram Contest. You can have your business viewed by hundreds of voters and promoted on social media for one low fee, and the money goes back into the contests for prizes and display items.

Thankfully, there is slightly less to cover in this week's correspondence. I pray that all of you are doing well and that your week is bright with the light of God's Love.

You are asked to write a 1,000 word micro-story beginning with “Through the window, I saw...” using this painting as inspiration. The only restriction on your creativity is that you keep your micro-story clean. All genres are accepted.

Submissions will open on October 1st, 2022, and end on October 31st, 2022. Please keep your submission to 1,000 words (slight overage is allowed). Send your micro-story, your name as you would like it to appear, the genre of the story, social media handle/website, and an email for contact purposes to info@cleanfictionmagazine.com

We will not use your micro-stories without your permission, and the winner/s will be sent pages for approval. The winner/s will appear in our December 20th, 2022 Winter 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.
