Wouldn't it be cool if CB had a writing competition? Do they already? I don't think I've seen one. Tell me what you think.
(if I'm wrong or this is in the wrong place, sorry.) |

A contest? And who's to say what piece of writing is best? It's all opinion. Nobody has that absolute authority.
How do you even begin to compare different genres of writing? An informative researched essay to a passionate piece of prose from the heart to a beautiful flowing villanelle or sestina? They're not even in the same league. Let's see you even begin to try. There already was one that failed. |

How do you even begin to compare different genres of writing? An informative researched essay to a passionate piece of prose from the heart to a beautiful flowing villanelle or sestina? They're not even in the same league. Let's see you even begin to try. There already was one that failed.  i love your enthusiasm, really. For starters, the contest will be on one genre. For example: let's say the contest goes on for 3 weeks. The topic will be on "your definition of beauty" in a sestina style. The 2nd contest might be the word "Frown" in a couplet style. The 3rd contest might be an informative essay on whatever topic you might like, the 4th might be on the word "Disdain" in a creative writing, any style...each time will be different. With a contest like this i wouldn't just throw it out into the open. You can say the same thing with a dancer, how can you judge who's the best dancer?...it matters if it's in ballet, lyrical, hip-hop, jazz, modern..ect...and how they perform. How creative they are. The writing contest would flow along the same lines. It will be judged on creativty, technique, being unique... And yes it's all opinion, everyone has their own different opinion whenever there is a competition. Whether it be in digital art, photography, singing, modeling...anything. That's what makes it so great. Everyone will vote on the piece that touches them the most. |
