Abstract

The "Love Your Mother — Competition" is an initiative by the platform "What is love to you." It encourages writers to share their love and appreciation for their mothers through a short story writing competition. Participants are required to adhere to specific rules, including a word limit of 600 words, tagging the platform, and submitting in draft format. The competition emphasizes heartfelt storytelling rather than judgment of the mothers being written about. Entries are being accepted until 16:00 GMT on Saturday, April 30th, 2022. Monetary rewards of $30 and$ 15 are offered for the first and second place winners, respectively, with the true prize being the opportunity to express love for one's mother and to read others' stories.

Writing Competition

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED

Let us start by admiring the picture above; this lady has a lot of stories to tell; I hope her family will listen to them and pass them on. We lose loved ones every day; I have lost my mother and wish I could have one more conversation with her.

We have already celebrated “Mothers Day” in the United Kingdom. However, I know the date differs depending on your country of residence. So I would like to run a writing competition this month.

“What is love to you?” would like to know about your mother; we want you to tell us 600 words or less why you love her so much. We all know our own mothers are the best in the world.

I want to clarify that we are not judging mothers; we evaluate your writing skills and heartfelt stories surrounding your mothers. I am looking forward to this one, and I hope you are too.
