We’ve had several requests to include contest information in our news and announcements. There are soooo many contests out there, and there is no way that we can keep up with all of them (been there, done that, didn’t even get a t-shirt). We have decided to post information for contests twice a month, life permitting. If you’d like yours to be added, fill out our handy dandy Contact Form. Whether it’s for the chance to experience something or someone new or to read contests with a theme we’re crazy for, we love contests and encourage everyone to check them out.

Submissions for the Age of Edward end tonight. Voting begins tomorrow, running through February 22. Check out all of the great entries here.

Entries for the Truly Anonymous Twilight Contest have been posted to this page, and voting is March 1 – 15.

Musical Cues II Contest

Contest Info:Back by popular demand, the FWAR’s contest theme is ‘Musical Cues II’… pick a song, any song. Write a one-shot that brings that song to life in full-blown technicolor, or sepia tones, or black and white. Just make us feel it.

Spring Squeezing Contest

Contest Info:Why bring in the spring season sorting through last season’s clothes or washing windows when you can be writing fanfic? Create a story to celebrate the coming of warmer temperatures, smaller clothing, flowers in bloom, and love in the air!

1. Choose your prompt pair (1 picture and 1 word prompt) by 02/14 (Valentine’s Day) and submit the entry form with your choices and other entry information. Prompts are posted on the DCM blog (linked below and on entry form), or you can choose your own “wild card” prompts. Remember to provide us with that information though.
2. Submit your entry by 03/13, so that gives you a month to be inspired by those prompts and write whatever your heart desires!

Hope Springs Eternal Contest

Contest Info:The Hope Springs Eternal Contest is about finding the bright side. Everyone goes through challenges in life, it’s how you deal and move forward that truly illuminates the character of the person.

So write whatever you want, but please, don’t make it a picture perfect characterization of life. The flaws, the heartache, the battles and triumphs are what we want to read about. Select one of our many prompts to get your inspiration. Then go write us your best tale of hope. That in the end, things will get better.

Stories do not have to have a sickly sweet happily ever after, but we do want to see some promise of better things down the road.
It also doesn’t need to be super angsty, just write us a tale of life’s ups and downs.

Important Dates:

Entries Accepted 3/1 through 4/7
Voting 4/9 through 4/16
Winners Announced 4/20
