Round Three of the Shipwreck Challenge

in contest •  7 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.


Option 1: Write a short story taking an inspiration from the image below

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!

Adding mine here. Thanks!

Thank you for the efforts! Enjoy Round 3! :)

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! :)

Hmm...steampunk (or steempunk) would be very interesting I think. Totally new territory for me!

Well, think twice before jumping in the deep steampunk waters..

Haha! Not at the 11th hour, but close enough. Here's my story for Round 3:

Hey, thank you for jumping in and huge apologies for the late reply here. I've included your stories in the list of submissions. Just let me know if this is the only submission you have, because this is my impression.

OK thanks.
