Welcome to a new month, new contest at Esthetique!
After conclusion of the long format March-April writing contest, this time for the month of May we are back to challenge you to write entries in short format and showcase your unique artistic voices. For this month's challenge, we are providing you three quote prompts in the picture format and you have to get inspired to write a one-shot entry on any one of them. How one interprets the prompt, is totally an individual choice! One prompt can inspire a writer to submit a fantasy story, while another writer can submit a dark thriller on the same prompt - both are absolutely okay and even encouraged.
While we work behind the scenes to publish the results of the March-April contest, pick up your paper and pens and get back to writing another amazing entry!
