IWW 2012 - Write an Article - New Deadline!

[Mystica]

 

 

We know there is quite a bit of talent among our fellow DMers in the art of writing. Some of you prefer to use poetry, others are more drawn to writing short stories while still others may have a secret love for funny stories or straight forward news-style articles. Whatever way of writing appeals to you, we want to hear from you.

 

Welcome, to the Writing Competition of the IWW 2012 event!

 

 

Your challenge:

 

 

Write an article in whichever form or style you wish on the topic of this year's International Woman's Day:

 

Connecting Girls, Inspiring Futures

 

 

Rules:

 

• 
   
  
• Your article must be well written, grammar and spellchecked and be between a minimum of half a page and maximum two pages in Word, font size 12.
  
• The article must be written by you, in your own words.
  
• Each article must have a title.
  
• Articles must be written in English.
  
• You can submit as many articles as you like. But only one per topic. So no two articles on the same contents.

Update: the non-DMers are at the lead again in this activity. Are you all really going to let them outshine us?

 

I'm postponing this activity till next week Friday, so you have another full week to send in your articles.

 

I'm also going to invite other groups in to this activity.

Im thinking about it. Unfortunatley all the themes I can think of is sort of borderline on the topic.
