Spark A Creative Anthology Contest Five

A project of Spark: A Creative Anthology (see other related projects).

Do not submit here! This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.

About

The theme for this contest is “Fables.” Fables have been a part of storytelling as long as we’ve been telling stories. Fables do more than entertain: they also present a lesson or attempt to teach a moral. Traditionally, fables feature anthropomorphic animals as main character(s). For the best chance of winning this writing contest, your story or poem should feature at least one animal as a primary character—does not have to be the protagonist, and does not have to speak, but certainly can do both—and should contain a lesson or moral. The lesson or moral may be humorous or somber.
