Summary

The website announces the winners of the 50th Fifty Words Theme Challenge, with three authors receiving surprise cash prizes and promotional features for their winning entries.

Abstract

In a special edition of the 50/100 words challenge, the editors of TBI surprised participants by selecting not one, but three winners for the 50th Fifty Words Theme Challenge. Gaby Rogut and Barry Dawson Jr. IV tied for first place with their respective entries "Pull the Trigger" and "She Never Does," while Margaret's piece "She Got Shut Off From The World" was the editor favorite in the 100 Words category. The surprise prize included cash rewards of 25.00 each for Gaby and Barry, and 10.00 for Margaret, along with a feature in a newsletter, social media promotion, and an "About Me" showcase. The authors are requested to provide their bios for the upcoming feature.

Opinions

  • The editors at TBI take pride in being inconsistent, as they deviated from the norm of choosing a single winner.
  • The editors value the element of surprise and exceeding expectations, as evidenced by the announcement of three winners instead of one, and the addition of surprise cash prizes.
  • The winning authors are expected to contribute to their own promotion by writing up their bios.

We held a 50th Fifty Words Theme Challenge contest.

It was our normal 50/100 words challenge, but with a twist. The editors were to choose one winner. The winning prize was announced as,

“The winner will be featured in a newsletter and their winning piece will be pinned to the top of TBI for two weeks after. We’ll feature their entry across all social media platforms and do an About Me showcase also featured for a week. The winning author will be responsible for their own bio.”

In the roundup story, I, Jonica, announced there would be a surprise prize. There are three. I do like to exceed my own expectations.

Enough intro!

TBI editors are pleased to announce THREE winners.

(We are nothing if not inconsistent)
