Lifeguard Initiative December Writing Competition

The Lifeguard Initiative is hosting a writing competition this December, sponsored by William Lawyer. Over the next three weeks, we will be accepting submissions of original content for publication on our website and will be giving away prize money to the authors of the best articles.

We have endeavored to provide a thorough overview of the competition here on this page, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Rules:

• Articles must contain original content.
• Any images included must be original or free for use.
• Articles will have a minimum of three judges each.
• Judges will be automatically assigned content.
• Judges may not evaluate their own submissions, should they submit articles.
• Multiple articles can be submitted, but each person is only eligible for a single award based on their highest-ranked article.
• Articles must be submitted no later than January 1st, 2021.

Guidelines:

• The topic of your article may be any abortion-related issue.
• There is no upper or lower limit on the number of words, however, we suggest that articles be at least 400 words long at a bare minimum, and of a comfortably readable length to the general public.
• Articles will be judged on a scale of one to ten in three main categories, quality, informativeness, and persuasiveness. Categories are equally weighted, and the scores from each judge will be averaged.
• High-quality articles will be published on our website, and the highest-scoring articles will receive monetary prizes.

Prizes:

• $25 for first place
• $15 for second place
• $10 for third place
• Payments will be provided via PayPal unless otherwise agreed to by both parties.

Notes:

• In addition to being published on our website, articles may be republished by other partner pro-life organizations, with credit to the original authors and the Lifeguard Initiative.
• We will work with writers to overcome any hurdles that might arise during this competition, so if you need any help please reach out to us for assistance.

Additionally, our Discord Server is always open, and our team of writers and editors is dedicated to providing any assistance you may require. We highly recommend joining the server, as it is where a majority of LI activity is coordinated and the swiftest way to get answers or help from the LI team.

Please send submissions to thelifeguardinitiative@gmail.com, and if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to Email them there as well.
