This year, in addition to the regular competition, we will also be having a

Six Word Story contest!

This 記事 will answer all your 質問 about this contest:

What is a Six Word Story?
A Six Word Story is pretty self explanatory. It is simply a story made up of only six words. The fist Six Word Story was written によって Ernest Hemmingway:

“For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.”

The trick is 書く a Six Word Story that will make the reader think about what happened before of after this situation. In this case, the writer of this ad might have ロスト his/her child before the shoes were ever worn. Another great example:

“She met him at her wedding.”

This one also makes あなた think? Who did she meet? Was it her long ロスト father または her true love? What were the consequences of this meeting? That’s what makes this a great Six Word Story.
