First Annual Cabin Fever Competition


How would you like to do something fun this January that will help celebrate (or not) the cold weather? How would you like to write a story or a poem for a potentially wonderful prize?

I am calling this my "First Annual Cabin Fever Competition" - the inaugural topic this year will be - what else but cabin fever!" It should be 200 words or less... and the timeline would be ... say the end of January? The 31st?

(I do reserve the right to disqualify anything that is very inappropriate, which still gives you tons of leeway...)

As a prize I will send the winner a little something...not sure what yet but it will be something great - something quintessentially Canadian - I will let you know closer to the date.

  1. I love stuff that's Canadian! And I love a good writing contest. What a fun idea.
    Count me in.

  2. I think, since I live in a cabin and have had a fever for a week or so, that I would be foolish to not participate in your contest!
    Count me in!
    And, may I say, what a great idea!

  3. Yay! I'm looking forward to your stories Laurita and Cathy. I am lining up some judges to help me choose a winner so all will be fair and square.

    I can see where you will definitely relate to this challenge, Cathy - it is almost made for you! lol

  5. Good question, Barb.

    If you post your story it will come through my gmail and I will take it from there. I plan to post them in February and maybe the last one in line for Valentine's Day, depending how many I get.
