Congratulations!
You have won first prize in a writing competition!
However, your hosts are struggling to think of what would be deemed appropriate as a prize … so the question is quite simple … what would you think suitable as a first prize for a writing competition?
Options in the offering are:
Cash
Book Vouchers
………… however your hosts are open to suggestions? So what would you suggest? What do you think would be a good prize for a writer?
A first class flight to Adelaide Australia – and accommodation with your favourite Goldfinch on the planet?
More wishful thinking than first prize l feel? 🙂
Well…you asked? 😉
Ok, well if it wasn’t that then Mel – what would be your next suggestion?
To publish and promote your work, an introduction to a literary agent or publisher. That would be a great prize for a writer who is unpublished and needs a helping hand.
Ok, and say if it wasn’t that high a prize, what then?
I’m guessing then, that this isn’t purely hypothetical. I would say an Amazon voucher and a promise to promote and reblog their work on WP would be a good prize. 🙂
No, this was a hypothetical, but it’s interesting to see some answers in the high calibre range, so was curious to see what a lower end range prize might be?
I always got books!
What so book vouchers?
Yes, or ebooks.
An Amazon book voucher would be a lovely prize for me!
Hey Paula, good to know, once more thanks for the input 🙂
A year’s supply of paper and ink
Ah do you still write by hand them mostly Pensitivity or are you referring to Printing paper and Printer cartridges?
I still write letters, but my hands don’t hold up so well now thanks to arthritis, so printing paper and cartridges……… or maybe a new printer?
Amazon vouchers, Starbucks vouchers, pens, journals, & bookmarks.
hey Kristian, great 🙂
Thanks for the input 🙂
I like the amazon book voucher idea too!!
Hey KK, so an Amazon book voucher would be deemed as an International acceptable voucher for books?
I would think so!
Coolio, good to know 🙂
I’d say a nice pen & journal but does anyone (beside me) actually use pen & paper anymore?
Books are always awesome!! Coffee mug, t-shirt…with “Winner of (whatever contest)” printed on it. Cash or Amazon voucher.
Or, how about that Christmas fruitcake that has been passed around for the past decade…LOL
Well, more people use pens and journals than many might think in truth. Whilst l prefer my desktop, l still have a pen and pad on my desk, and when l am travelling l always have a pen and notepad out. I keep a small ideas journal also.
Book vouchers l think are always a winner, as indeed are simply vouchers which can be used against something of the winners choice.
The mugs actually a really good idea as indeed the T shirt 🙂
Thank you for the input 🙂
A book voucher! 🙂
Hey Richa, thanks for the response – when you say a book voucher where would like to see a book voucher from?
An Amazon voucher or Kindle Gift Cards..
Oh yes, Kindle gift ideas – that’s a cracking idea – cheers Richa 🙂
Cheers!😇💖🙏🏻

Cash is best. But the other ideas offered in your comments are all worthy too! One blogger has special mugs made and offers those. I like pens myself… 😉 🙂
So when you say cash, do you mean hard core cash or do you mean – vouchers that can be exchanged for goods?
I should think vouchers. Getting “cash” to someone without perhaps having it stolen en route (up here in this town, which is very small, and in most cities, NOBODY with sense sends money through the mail. It’ll get lifted)…and since most of these communities are rather anonymous, sending checks (bad idea too) or the like are hard to figure out how to do. My opinion only.
No, everything is electronic and digital these days – but l had to ask 🙂
Show me the money!
Well alrighty then! 🙂
That’s interesting Fandango, because you’d have to tell the send-ee your real name in order to get the money in the mail. Now Pay-pal is an option I suppose…hmm.
What? You don’t think Fandango Fivedotoh is my real name? 😱
LMAO!!
You mean it isn’t? Not something more bizzaro is it?
