The time has come to provide more details regarding our Leviathan Story Writing Contest.
Since the time the contest was pre-announced, we have posted three sample stories.
Sarcosuchus Leviathan
Kronosaurus Leviathan
Tyrannosaurus Rex Leviathan
Your contest entries do not need to be nearly this short. We hope they help add vitality to your own creativity.
A talented artist has agreed to provide a prize to the winner of each age category. This artist is especially good at drawing dragons, and will render such art work based on the Leviathan description in your own story!
We are still seeking further prize contributions.
The entries will be judged anonymously, and scored based on the following rubric for judging criteria:
35% Innovation
Your story reflects and articulates original and interesting insights and ideas.
25% Impact
