Writers to your marks. Get set. Shatter!
(Your writer’s block, that is.)
For the second year running, the Sledgehammer Writing Contest innovatively incorporates a scavenger hunt with a team competition and a prize package worth thousands of dollars—oh, and did we mention there’s a 36-hour time limit?
Here’s how it works:
Teams of writers converge at noon on Saturday to receive their first writing prompt and scavenger hunt 
clues. From there they head out to several locations around the city to gather all four writing prompts, and then they have 36 hours to write the best fiction piece they can. Final submissions are due back in person
by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.
The following week, competitors will read their stories at an unveiling (Portland: Monday, August 31, 6 p.m. at the Writers’ Dojo; Seattle: TBA), and the audience will vote on the top three. The top three from each city will win gift certificates to local businesses, be invited to read their work at Wordstock and other venues, and go into the running for the grand prize 
package worth thousands of dollars!
Thanks to all of our sponsors
who make the prize package so phenomenal.
