Requirements for Submitting and Other Such Things!

All righty, today's the day before the big day! Midnight, your local time, tonight, the contest opens! So, here's what to do for submitting.

Email your entry to us at TheVaccuumContests@gmail.com . In the email, we need your name, your age, the prompt, & the style of writing that your piece uses (poetry, short story, script, etc.). That's all you need to do. If you want to be really nice, you could put that same info in your document, as well, but if you don't, that's cool.

We also kindly ask that your pieces are sent to us to be compatible with Microsoft Word or, if push comes to shove, Notepad. If you cannot do any of those, just copy and paste your piece into your email.

Also, a lovely commenter asked if there were age restrictions or only people from certain countries could enter. I will have you know that there are no such restrictions.

Remember, 5000 words is your limit. No buts, no cuts, no coconuts. The prompt is "Nerdfighters".

Now, if you ever run into a prompt that you know nothing about, either 1)Look it up, or 2)Take the prompt and be creative with it, imagining your own definition to the word or phrase.

So, yeah, that should be it. Get to writing, and the contest opens at midnight!
