I don't know who wrote 'the contest short story' as the name is very general and there could be many short stories with such a title.

I'm not sure specifically as I don't know which 'the contest short story' you are referring to. It could be about a competition, perhaps a writing contest where the story itself is either the entry or about the experiences within the contest.

To win, make your story unique and engaging. Focus on a strong plot and well-developed characters.

Well, for a YA short story contest, common requirements include a word count range, like 3,000 to 8,000 words. Also, the story might need to fit within a given genre or topic. And often, there are rules about originality and submission format.

I'm not sure exactly, but you might be able to find the date on the Austin Chronicle's official website or by contacting their editorial team.

I'm not sure who won. Maybe you can check the official announcement or relevant news sources for the latest and accurate information.

First, have a clear understanding of the contest theme. Then, do extensive research if needed. Polish your writing, check for grammar errors, and make the story emotionally resonant with readers.

Another theme could be pride. The participants in the contest might be driven by their pride, either to prove themselves or to uphold their honor. In the story, their actions and decisions during the contest could be influenced by this sense of pride.

Once upon a time, there was a good housekeeping contest in our town. My neighbor, Mrs. Smith, decided to participate. She spent weeks cleaning every nook and cranny of her house. When the day of the contest arrived, the judges were amazed at how spotless her home was. In the end, she won second place and was overjoyed. It was a great experience for her and inspired others to keep their homes clean too.

It depends on how confident you are in your story and what the contest requirements are. If you think your story is unique and meets the criteria, go for it!
