Are you a budding author looking for an opportunity to stretch your imagination and showcase your talents? Here's your chance to inspire us - and yourself - with stories about everyday women who make a difference. Your story should tell the situation and sentiments behind a woman's smile -- personal triumph, special moments or a life changing experience. Or maybe you want to share the story of a woman who made a difference in your life, or many lives.
Whatever the subject, here's your chance to tantalize our intrepid editor Twila Driedger and her judging panel in the first of the four short story contests we will host each year. Each contest will feature a different theme. Engage us with your fiction and non-fiction entries. Entries should not exceed 1,500 words.
We'll even post a random selection of 10 entries every two weeks so that you can enjoy the stories with us.
Every three months, SmileVino will select three winning submissions in both the fiction and non-fiction categories. First place winners will each receive $500.00; second place winners will each receive $300.00 and third place winners will each receive $200.00. Winning entries will also be posted on SmileVino.com.
So fire up your computers, sharpen your pencils or stock up on pens and share your stories. We just might give you something to smile about, too!
Enter your short story!
