I'm going to be running a short story contest on my blog soon. I haven't worked out all of the details yet because I'm trying to get an idea of how many people would be interested in entering (or helping me judge).

The general, unpolished plan is for a month long contest. Entries must be a minimum of 1000 words. Ideally, a judging panel will view anonymous entries and discuss which one should be the winner. I would probably post some (or all) of the entries on my blog when the contest ends and the prizes would probably be some Amazon vouchers (or an equal sum paid into a paypal account). I'm also considering two categories - adults and teens.

If you have any thoughts, feel free to comment. If you would like to enter or are interested in joining the judging panel, please let me know.
