1. Contests: Every month, we will release what are called monthly contests. You will have from the first day of the month until the last day at 11:59 PM EST to submit your entry. These entries will be based on 2-3 prompts provided. We do not take extension requests to ensure that everyone is given an equal amount of time to write their entry and submit it by the deadline.
Contests will be judged on the following rubric:

The purpose of these contests is to help cultivate your writing ability. To stay up to date on our monthly contests, please add our Challenges of a Disciple contest book to your private or public library and hit the follow button to receive announcements from our message board.
2. Challenges: Every month, we will launch War of Writers with FoodKart, which is a special Shokugeki-styled event catered to helping you perfect your description writing skills. We all may have received feedback at some point in our writing life that descriptions may be info dumping or too vague. We hope with these short challenges, you will learn how to create descriptions powerful enough to captivate your audience.
3. Collaborative Events: Every year, we will host three collaborative events and partner with other community-led profiles to bring interactive and exciting long-form writing challenges. If you're up to the challenge, stay tuned for the following events every year.
- The Immortals' Conquest: run every November 1 through February 1. An ONC-styled novella contest with a Lunar New Year theme. Filled with prompts inspired by Asian & Pacific Islander mythology & folklore, we hope to see you all sign up to complete a new novella before Lunar New Year begins on February 1.
- Will You Be Mine: run every February. A dating sim otome-styled game contest where you choose a love interest and write a thrilling romantic fantasy tale!
- Six Realms of API Fantasy: run every July 1 through September 1. An interactive, choose your own adventure contest that takes you on an adventure through a new realm each year. Uncover new prompts inspired by a set theme every year.
Tip: we suggest you make a new book to house your contest and challenge entries. You can tag it with #APIFantasyAnthology #APIFantasyContest #APIChallenge
