Round Three of the Shipwreck Challenge

in #contest7 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone!

Thank you for submitting your entries for Round 2!

I've collected them all in a Google Sheet and the members of the jury have access. I'm impatient to see their ratings and announce them in one of the next updates. You still have about 10 hours to finish your entries for Round 2 and submit them on time.

Have fun with Round 3!

NB! Whaleshares prize pool has increased. Each of the first 6 participants gets 10 Whaleshares more. Check for the full info under PRIZE POOL below.

ROUND 3

If you are a participant continue with the given prompts below.

Deadline to submit an entry for Round 3 is February 9 at Midnight, US, EST.

If you are not a participant, but improving your writing is an important aspect of your success on Steemit then you can follow along with the prompts given at every round and even submit your own stories in the queue.

The queue (known also as workshop) is a free of charge service part of @thewritersblock, created and developed by @rhondak and by the brave Sir Muxxy (@gmuxx) along with a team of seriously talented folks about 4 months ago). Writers get their works reviewed and receive advice for improvements. More info here and in the end of the post.

This time we are focusing on visual prompts.

Make sure you submit your prompts as a comment under this post on time. Length remains the same: between 700 and 1500 words.

Good to see you back @simgirl. It's fine. If we had like 20 rounds then you would still have a chance for the first place, however with only 3 rounds, it will be a tough challenge... Apart of that I'm simply happy to see you back with another story! Well done!

Well done @negativer! Thank you! Let's hope this one will put you in the leading position at the most important moment.

What about me?!!!

:D The same applies for you @nobyeni. I didn't mean to miss you. Indeed, you are in a similar positions and let's just see the final results soon. You also have hight chances.

This is a beautiful contest. I do not have enough English to write a story.
So I'll watch it. I congratulate you for this competition

Hey, thank you! What's your native language?

So here is my entry for round 3! It's been an awesome challenge, @steemfluencer, and looking forward to the next madness you may come up with for us to wreck our brains on ;-) Pun intended.

Ah, nice! Visual prompts this time around. I like the variety, and now we get some sci-fi options too. Cool!

Ha, yes. Exactly my first thoughts as well! Looking forward what people will come up with this time!

Cool to see you like the prompts guys. I got few hints from the jury. Team work pays off! :)
