The Do-Over Writing Contest

The Do-Over Writing Contest

You get one "Do-over." How would you use it? Win $200.

Haven't we all wanted a do-over at least once in life?

In 500 words or less, write a story based on a character that has the opportunity to do-over one event in their life. The story can be any genre as long as it is based on this concept. You can submit as many entries as you like but we'll only judge your most recent two entries based on posting date. The contest is available free to TheNextBigWriter Premium members.

To help you get into the reviewing mood we are also requiring entrants to provide three quality reviews on the work of other site members to qualify.

Prizes:

  • One winner will receive $200.
  • Two runner-ups will receive $50.

Good luck!

Requirements:

  • Free entry Premium members of TheNextBigWriter.
  • Leave at least three quality reviews on the work of other site members.
  • Be a Premium member in good standing at the end of the contest period.

Deadline: July 18, 2025
