Reedsy Contest Novels & Stories

She randomly found a pavilion with tables and chairs and sat down, resting her chin on her hand, and began sketching on the paper. She remembered that Renee had told her about an ongoing designer competition. Although it was just a small regional competition, there were many talented designers participating, including some who had already achieved success. Renee suggested that she should also participate in the competition. It wasn't about winning or losing, but rather the opportunity it presented. Elaine was indeed tempted, but she had never formally studied fashion design, so she felt a bit hesitant. But when she heard that Sarah had also signed up and confidently declared that she would w

Caroline’s Point of View The empty sketchbook before me seems weightier than usual, as if its blank pages mock me . I grip my pencil almost breaking the tip. Yet, I struggle to start drawing. No ideas. No creativity. Just a heavy constricting sensation in my chest. I must create this design. This contest isn't about winning—it's about showing I'm still myself. That I still offer something valuable, something worthwhile. After all my losses, after facing so many rejections, this is my opportunity to establish myself again.

"Twenty-four companies have made their entry to the contest, and with all our designers here today, I'm honored to announce that the first Crescent Designing Contest is now started!" the host raised his voice and caught everyone's attention when Raymond left Edward and mingled with the crowd quietly. "I know you are all waiting on the announcemen

Scarlett walked up to me and asked, "Reed, what kind of works are you going to work on for the design competition?" "I won't participate in it." I answered with my head buried in my lunch. She blinked her eyes and looked at me in disbelief, "What? You won't participate in the contest?" "Yeah" "But there is a bonus. According to hearsay, the highest reward seemed to be at 400,000 dollars. Everyone in the company seems to want a share in that." Scarlett seemed to be unconvinced by my words. I looked up at her and gave her a wry smile, "Designers of so many companies and studios will participate in the competition. Among them, there are many hidden talents. Even if I use all my skills, I don't

Before I can say a word, she sneaks up behind me and peeks at my phone screen. “Naya, you did it!” is the next thing I heat and she wraps her arms around me from behind, hugging me tight. The news becomes the main discussion at breakfast. I rush my food fast while Reilly and her bestie talk about other things. Twenty minutes later, I'm at the office. As I already expected, some faces are cheerful today and some are gloomy. The contest is organized by top fashion designers in the world. Not everyone who uses a sits in front of a sewing machine meets their standards.

“Get this: everyone has to participate and we get to choose what we want to do this year for the contest. Isn’t that awesome?” “I would think so if I had more context to work with,” was my snippy reply, but thankfully, Zeke didn’t hear the edge in my voice. “Usually, we get to choose if we want to be part of the contest or not and we all were assigned the same prompt to recreate. Most of us work well with certain elements and tools, so producing our best work with a tool we weren’t familiar with was torture to our poor souls. Marlow’s fluent in almost every art style and can use almost all the tools perfectly well so he had no trouble winning all the time. Now, everyone has to participate an

Edla who was so bored by herself in her room doing nothing much, decided to get herself busy by gathering every of her maids together. She had told them to get plain white pieces of embroidery clothes, and threads with pins they could use to make embroidery designs. She had them sit on the floor before her in the room and timed them to start a random embroidery design, that whosoever finishes first and has a beautiful design would get an expensive jewelry from her. It sure was so worth it, that the maids who were participating in the contest put the best of their efforts.

Jacob remarked. “We’re already here. I want to hear what else they have to say,” Arda replied. “Alright,” Karina agreed. “Whatever you want,” Jacob said, sounding reluctant, but Arda ignored him. Surprisingly, so did Karina. “Anyway,” the woman continued, “we’ve set up a website for this contest. Go online, fill out the form, and upload a picture of your mark. This is now an online competition. Include your bank details, and our team will verify your submission. Winners will be announced on the site, and prizes will be sent directly.”

Felicia continued. "Now, you can... start!" Damien called out, and everyone grabbed the sketchbooks and pencils provided on their respective tables, beginning to sketch their designs as outlined in their design applications. ...... When the time was up, everyone exited the hall, and Adeline walked over to Cassia. "So, how did it go? It must have been hard..." Adeline said, feigning concern. Cassia inhaled deeply, closed her eyes, and then reopened them. Maybe it was time to stand up to Adeline. Yes, Adeline was a popular designer and had won a contest before, but what gave her the right to underestimate Cassia? Was it because she had come in eighth place? Not like Adeline was the first to wi
