BIBLIOPHONE 1000 words heard: terms of entry
1. Entry closes on Friday 16th September at midnight GMT.
2. To enter this competition please email your story to [email protected] as a Word attachment, PDF file or within the body of the email before the closing date and time.
3. Entries must be a maximum of 1000 words. Anything above this will not be permitted (sorry but that is the point of the competition!)
4. Entrants must own the rights to their work. While it may be published elsewhere in written format, there must not be a published audio version already available and any existing publishing platform must also accept in their terms that your work be published elsewhere.
5. Entrants retain the rights to their work, and the winning entry will be narrated by one of our guest narrators for publication here at Bibliophone. The winning entrant may link to their prize on any platform but must not publish the audio version of their story as narrated by our guest narrator-judges.
6. Bibliophone retains the right to host the winning story indefinitely.
7. Entries will be judged by the narrators. (Hint: make sure your story ‘reads’ well so as to entice them to select it!) Bibliophone may initially shortlist entries with its own panel dependent on volume (we don’t want to drown our poor narrators.) Your story may therefore be shown to any of the narrator-judges, but not necessarily all of them.
8. The judges’ decision is final.
9. There is no cash prize alternative.
10. Adult content is permitted but please note that if the winning entry features adult content it will be noted as such. Please refer to the Bibliophone Terms of Use for more information and our policy on graphic content.
11. Bibliophone reserves the right to use any marketing channels available to publicise the competition and the winning entry (this is good for you!)
12. Bibliophone’s normal Terms of Use apply to all work published.
