Star Trek Story Contest

    The Star Trek Story Contest is our way to attempt to link the Trekkies of the world in a new way.  It is an assemblage of some of the best short story writing out there, for mutual collaboration in publishing.  This is an effort to seek out excellence and merge diversity with our commonalities in a quest for something new and exciting.

    Sharpshooters will hold a monthly original story contest for any person wishing to enter.  Winners, comprising of AT LEAST 1 Admiral's Favorite, 1 Captain's Choice (up to 3 possible), and 1 Commander's Leisure (up to 5 possible), will be chosen by a panel of three judges.  With the exception of cotest placement, all winners recieve equal reward.  Each article will be posted in the Star Trekkie Universe pages for at least one month. . . possibly more.  Consideration for the contest is subject to the following Terms and Conditions.
