Non-Fictional Story Contest with $200 Prize from Storyhouse

Storyhouse is inviting writers all over the world to participate in the General Nonfiction Contest. Any appropriate nonfiction topic is eligible. Stories must be true, not fictional or semi-fictional accounts. So-called "creative nonfiction" will not be considered.

• First prize will be $200. Runner-up will receive $100. 
• Both winner and runner-up will receive certificates of recognition suitable for framing.

• Stories must be between 1000-5,000 words in length.   
• There are no international limitations.  Stories from any country are fine, although they must be written in English.  
• Language in the stories should be free of words or scenes not suitable for children, since many children read the stories and some actually post their stories.
• Be sure your stories are ready for publication. Storyhouse does not provide copy editing services.  If they aren't ready to go up on the site don't send them until they are.
• Storyhouse's objective is to preserve these stories for future generations, not to put them up one year and take them down the next, so contest runners-up and winners are expected to remain on the site for as long as the Preservation Foundation exists. However, there is no objection to the stories being published elsewhere.
• A writer may enter one or two stories in the contest. 
• There are no entry fees.
