DEADLINE: 100-word Short Story Smash

Dear writer,

The 7th 100-Word Short Story Smash is coming on Wednesday, October 29th, 2014. If you are interested in having your literary masterpieces(s) dramatically read aloud to an admiring public by well-dressed rhetoricians in a stunning setting, please see the submission details below. 

If you sent multiple submissions for the previous Smash and only one was read, you may re-submit the unread ones if you wish. (I have them on file).

Short Story Smash Rules

October 29thth, 2014, 7:30 at WICA

1.    All stories must be 100 words exactly; not 99 or less, or 101 plus. The title does not count in the 100 word total.
2.    Submissions must be sent ASAP and no later than October 22nd to my email address; cspencer@whidbey.com, so they can be printed and rehearsed by actors prior to the show. Edit your work! (Better yet, have someone else edit it.)
3.    Cash prizes will be awarded. You may submit up to two stories. Do not resubmit any story already read aloud in previous shows.  In-house deities retain the right to accept or reject entries.
4.    If you’re unfamiliar with the 100 –word genre/format, request a short (100-word) guideline from cspencer@whidbey.com.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
