#underlit, in conjunction with *007-WriteOff are hosting a MASSIVE SECRET LIT COMP ,which is to be announced on January 10 (comp will commence Jan 15).



This competition is open to ALL Lit categories ( Prose, Poetry and Visual Literature) and promises to be a lot of FUN.


A special submission category is being created for it, thanks to $Moonbeam13 and ^FallenRox


Anyways, the point of this news is:


WE NEED PRIZES!!!


We want this to be the MOST insanely huge, fun Lit competition ever, and a great way to kick off the New Year by inspiring some really great writing. So, here’s your chance to share something special with your fellow deviants, and donate to our prize pool.

It doesn’t have to be anything that costs money (we recognise that time is money, too!) though of course we’d be more than happy if you’d like to donate something like an Amazon voucher, sub or print (in fact, some more prints would be lovely).

We’re aiming for a really eclectic mix of prizes, anything people are willing to give, at all. Prints are pretty inexpensive if you donate from your own gallery. But also, your time for a crit or a poem-as-a-prize, or a piece of commission art, or a stamp, or a nifty devID design, or custom journal CSS, a hand-knitted woolly hat, your firstborn child— anything you can possibly throw our way would be neat.

Please submit your offer in the comments below.

Our GIANT SEXY PRIZE POOL OF deviantART LOVE is being listed and updated daily in THIS HERE JOURNAL.

We only ask that it’s something people might actually want (used teabags are nice and all… but you know).
