Hi. Will there be any more contests for the year? Stories, poems, anything?
Hi there. The FABO Competitions are finished for this year. We’ll be back next year.
Hi. Could the Poetry Prompts be the title of our poem? Thanks.
Yes it can.
I entered two – does that mean that they both have an equal chance of getting some mention?
Yes
Hi for the story prompts do we use the words in our story or do we just hint it?
You can EITHER use one of the poetry prompt lines somewhere in your poem, OR write a poem using one of the pictures as inspiration INSTEAD of one of the poetry prompt lines.
Thanks
Hi, was wondering if it was okay if I added a word or two into the prompts.
Hi there. Please use the prompts as they are, without adding words.
Can you submit more that one poem/story?
The judges have decided you can enter two poems if you want to. No more than two though, please.
I love to write stories and I just saw that “my life as a roach” was the last one of the year! What other writing competitions can I do? Thank you
