SHINE COMPETITION: THE RULES

Filed under: SHINE COMPETITION — Tags: — shineanthology @ 1:43 am

The rules: I’ll keep it short and sweet.

  1. Everyone from around the world is allowed (and invited!) to enter. However:
  2. Since the top ten prizes are alcoholic drinks, I will ask confirmation of the top ten winners that they are of drinking age in their country of residence. Without that confirmation by email I will not send out the prize, and let number 11 (or 12, or 13, etc.) be the lucky one;
  3. Enter the SHINE competiton by sending your answers (example: 1-A, author Jane Doe; 2-B, author Joe Sixpack; etc.) to shineanthology@gmail.com . Please put “SHINE COMPETITION” in the header: this makes my life much easier.
  4. Accompany this entry with your postal mail address: an *actual* address. Sorry for families: only one entry per postal mail address. This is to prevent one person from entering multiple times. I will send the prize to the address of the winning entry, and if that is a non-existent postal address, then the next one in line will get the prize;
  5. Entrant with the most correct answers wins: if more than one person has the most correct answers, then the first one (by date of the email) wins. Number 1 gets first choice of the main prizes;
  6. Then the one with the second most correct answers (or who came in later than number 1 while having the same number of answers correct) will have the second choice of the main prizes;
  7. And so forth down the line until all ten main prizes have been selected.
  8. The competition will run from November 30 until December 15: it will close to entries at December 16 midnight, Dutch time. All entries coming after that will be discarded unread;
  9. Winners, together with the answers of the competition, will be announced on Friday December 18;
  10. The editor, the authors and the people working for Solaris Books (in short: anybody with knowledge and access to at least one of the original stories) is excempt from this competition;
  11. I am the judge, jury and executor of the competition, and my judgment is final.

That’s it: good luck!
