About This Newsletter

*Tackb* Hiya folks! Here I am back as a guest editor for Contests and Activities! *Delight*

WDC is known to encourage authors and provide all kinds of fun challenges to test our skills. Way back in 2002 our hosts began to run site contests where worthy competitors could win Cash prizes as well as the cool merit badges! So let's have a peek.

Letter from the editor

*Delight* It is that time again! Each month WDC offers a site contest to challenge paying members to engage their muses, powers, talents and imagination to potentially win a BIG prize and shine! *Starstruck*

*Leafr* For this month of October the contest is "What a Character! : Official WDC Contest" Open in new Window.! This was created in 2010.
It is a short story contest where you write a story that makes us want to root for the antihero or protagonist! *Bigsmile* Character development is the key element.

You enter privately by submitting your item to the survey on the main page of the contest.

*Quill* The entries are reviewed by a panel of Moderator or Sr. Moderator judges, who score each one according to the criteria for each theme. The panel changes with each contest.

*Badge* *Quill* The best one wins $100.00, a what a character badge, virtual and physical edition! *Heart* Second and Third prizes also win cash and the badges. Fabulous rewards.
