This looks great! Thank you so much for creating this writing contest in my mom’s honor; I know she would be absolutely thrilled about this. I hope I will be able to read the winner’s story!
You are so welcome!
This is very exciting!! I can’t wait to enter :3 I’m going to go get to typing. 500-2,500 words at least? Pssh! i can ream out more than that in a day! Can it be more than 2,500?
So glad you’re excited! We’d like to keep it at 2,500 words — any more than that and it gets hard to judge in a timely manner. Thanks!

Any theme?
No, just prose–any genre/theme.

Can it be in a poem because I was thinking of trying a new way of writing as I don’t normally write poems?
For this contest, we are only accpeting prose, no poetry. All the best with your writing adventures!
