ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT SERIES⁣
⁣⁣⁣
A new prompt will be posted periodically throughout the year, to which writers may respond in 100 or fewer words. Each tournament will be a bracket-style tournament. The Nasiona editors and readers will vote on which submitted pieces advance to the next round of the bracket, and so on, until a winner and runner-up are crowned. The winner takes home 35% of the $$ pot and the runner-up takes home 15% of the $$ pot.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Each tournament winner and runner-up qualify for seasonal finals, and seasonal winners and runners-up will qualify for the annual tournament, where we will crown The Nasiona Annual Writing Prompts Champion!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For us, art is the process of selection, and we want to read exceptionally told, processed, and crafted stories with an economical use on language. Move us, make us feel, make it carnal so it inundates our senses, impact us in a way that the imagery, concepts, experience, moments, etc., linger with us long after we've read it.⁣⁣

PRICE MONEY

There is a fee to enter the tournament, but the winner takes home 35% of the pot and the runner-up takes home 15% of the pot, which is funded by entry fees. So, for example, if we raise USD $1,000, the winner takes home USD $350 and the runner-up takes home USD $150. The remainder of the pot will help The Nasiona (magazine and podcast) expand, as well as pay our editors and readers. Winner and runner-up must be able to receive winnings via Venmo, Google Pay, or PayPal from the United States, but you can enter from anywhere in the world.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The winner and the runner-up will be notified by no later than December 31, 2020.

Only submit one piece of 100 or fewer words per tournament. If you submit more than one piece or if the submission is longer than 100 words, you will get disqualified and will not receive a refund.

This is a writing prompt, so what you submit must not have been published elsewhere (not even on Facebook or other social media platforms).

Ensure your piece is in .doc or .docx format and your name is nowhere on the document or the file name.

Include a bio of 100 of fewer words.

We will consider every submission for publication consideration in The Nasiona Magazine, even if you don't win the tournament.

The Nasiona retains standard first publication rights. All rights immediately revert to the writer upon publication.

We only accept contest entries through Submittable.

We are very excited to see your beautiful interpretations of the prompts, and to further cultivate this thriving, gorgeous community!
