Why Participate?
The process of writing is tedious, yet beautiful. From countless iterations, corrections & countless to nights to days of introspections, feedback sessions and more.
But after all of that, you come out with a masterpiece, something you can be extremely proud of. A piece of work that’s worthy of winning an award or two at the very least!
But where do you go from here?
“Should I participate in a contest?”
“How can I make money from my work?”
“How to gain exposure from my writing skills?”
“Will someone pay me to write for them?”
Here are some answers to your unyielding questions!:
Getting acknowledged for your writing (and your courage to put your writing out in the open) is paramount: entering a leading contest like “India Writing Project’s Creative Writing Competition” does just that. A Participation Certificate to recognize your talent and bravery is ideal to boost your confidence early in your writing career.
Winning an award is, undoubtedly considered to be, the ultimate recognition of one’s work! Irrespective of the genre one writes in, winning a contest and getting an award is public applause, a standing ovation if you will, for one’s writing.
Exposure is an author’s best friend, and what better way to gain exposure than have your winning entry published in national dailies like Hindustan Times or Mid-Day!
If your interest lies in earning through writing, as a primary or secondary income, participating in contests like “India Writing Project’s Creative Writing Competition” that offer cash prizes as rewards.
It may be so that your penultimate goal might be a book, column, or a blog, winning an award can help you gain credibility in not just the community of writers, but also across the public. Submitting your work and getting accolades for it can help in creating a reader base across social media channels as well!
