Word of the Day Writing Competition
Days are getting colder, and everyone is slowly backing to the warm comfort of their homes. It's the best opportunity to make good use of the quietness and peace of the season by taking pen and paper(or a computer) out to write.
OxfordWords of Oxford University Press(OUP) is calling all aspiring(有抱負的) authors out there to take part in our writing competition. What we're looking for are imaginative(富有想象力的) short stories—not more than 500 words---that include every Word of the Day (WOTD) from November.
Each entry will be carefully considered by the OxfordWords team before deciding on a winner. The best storyteller will be given a year's fee to OxfordDictionaries.com, as well as £50 worth of OUP books, and have his or her piece published on that website.
Before you get started, please make sure you're read our terms and conditions. Entries can be submitted(遞交) through the entry form, or posted into the comment section. Closing date for the competition is 5th January 2015.
And finally, for inspiration, have a look at the charming short story that gives us the idea for this competition, written by a fellow Oxford Dictionaries team member, and including all thirty one Words of the Day from October.
