CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 3 Day Novel Contest


Announcing the 35th Annual International 3-Day Novel Contest
Labour Day Weekend, September 1-3, 2012
www.3daynovel.com

Can you write a masterwork of fiction in 72 short hours? What began as a dare in a Vancouver bar has become an act of defiance. Today, 35 years after its birth, the 3-Day Novel Contest still reigns as one of the world’s most maddening, compelling and exhilarating challenges for writers.

Register now and commit yourself to this brain-bending creative experience. Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned 3DNC veteran, you won’t be able to predict where the experience might take you. But what you can count on is a literary workout that will push the limits of your imagination and kick the heck out of writer’s block for one intense long weekend.

Early-bird registration deadline: August 15 ($50)
Final registration cutoff: August 31 ($55)
Contest date: September 1-3
Prizes: First prize is paid publication; second prize is $500; and third prize is $100. But the real prize, for everyone who gives it their all, is the 72-hour banishment of writers block and one crumpled, tear-stained first draft of a novel.
Open to all writers, everywhere in the world
Full details: www.3daynovel.com

Take the leap and join us for our 35th anniversary event! Need a reason why? Because it’s there. (Also for the thrill of creative experimentation and for a shot at the top prizes.) Visit www.3daynovel.com for rules, fees, prizes, FAQs, chat links, survival tips and full registration information.

Numai că traducătorii gorjeni au reușit teribila „performanță” de a greși două dintre numele acestor monumente: – numele în franceză al Coloanei Infinitului este „LA COLO N E SANS FIN” (varianta corectă este „LA COLO NN E SANS FIN” ); – numele în franceză al Mesei Tăcerii este „LA TABLE DU SIL A NCE” (varianta corectă este „LA TABLE DU SIL E NCE” . „Este foarte probabil ca denumirile să fi fost traduse de oameni slab pregătiţi, care nu au consultat nici măcar un dicţionar şi s-au grăbit. ...
