Poetry 2. Prose 3. Academic/News (e.g. Academic, News Reporting, Economic Reports, Science Reports, Theological Writings, Treatises, etc.) There will be a total of at least seven judges\*, who will judge _ALL_ categories: Ayallah Julianna Avala Literia Loai Qerl Morwen Lagann Silver Night Tressith Sefira (\*I am open to adding one or two judges, so if interested message me) There is no minimum length. Maximum length is 30,000 words. There is no required subject matter; the content may be fiction or non-fiction. All entries will be considered. Submissions are to be made by posting on Eve Forums - Eve Fiction or on [http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com](http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com) . Your post should specifically reference at the outset that it is being submitted for consideration in the YC 119 New Eden Capsuleer’s Writing Contest. If you have a good reason why you want to make a private submission, then contact me privately as to why. DEADLINE for submissions is JULY 31ST of this year.

Additionally, each of the Judges may, in their discretion, award a personal prize to the favorite (regardless of the “place” of the submission) All judges and I (as administrator) are disqualified from submission. All entries will be considered. if the quality of the entries does not merit the number of prizes, then prizes will be given up to the number deemed meritorious. if people have any questions or need rulings, I am the contest administrator and you can feel free to message me directly. The most “amusing” or “entertaining” to me\* gets treated to a candlelit dinner by me at a fine restaurant.
