I am incredibly pleased to announce The Showcase’s very first contest.

Both of this month’s contests will hopefully spark the memories and interests we all had when we were children and possibly lost. This contest is winner-take-all with a prize of $10 USD. So, without further ado, this month’s writing theme will be…

MAGIC

Whether it was a grandparent hiding a quarter behind our ear or a professional on stage, we have all been touched by magic in one way or another.

Here’s the rules you’ll need to follow:

  • Write a drabble consisting of exactly 100 words (excluding the title)
  • Drabble must not be published elsewhere
  • Publish the drabble with The Showcase
  • Incorporate the theme into the drabble (doesn’t have to be the main focus point)
  • Leave the AI to our art contest

It’s not a requirement, but I highly recommend adding a link to any of The Showcase’s contest posts to grow this and increase cash prizes, including runner-ups, as part of the payout.
