Dog Days of Summer Contest

I'm not quite sure how my posting schedule got pushed to Tuesdays, but as Rebekah kept all of the information about this contest tightly under wraps until today, I simply couldn't post any earlier. Next week should see a return to Mondays.

But what you really want to know about is the Dog Days of Summer contest!  This is a special flash fiction contest, spanning multiple weeks, with genuine cash prizes! The details:

• Deadline: July 22, 11:59PM Eastern Time
• Word Count: 800-1000, exclusive of title and byline
• How: Post your entry, based on the photo prompt below, in the comments at the link above. Make sure to follow the content guidelines.
• Inspiration: Tom Sawyer, (childhood summer mischief: “real” or imagined)
• Judging: Rebekah will choose the top 10, and then voting will commence on July 24th for the top 3
• Prizes: Amazon giftcard or Paypal — $25 for 1st place, $15 for 2nd, $10 for 3rd

And of course, the prompt: 

Good luck, and I hope to see your stories among the submissions! 

(Or not, since then I'll have a better chance of making the top 10, hehe.)
