The Pepperjack Press (www.pepperjackpress.com) short story contest is a monthly contest that begins on the first of every month, and ends on the last day of every month. There is no restriction on genre, the length restriction is between 1,000 and 5,000 words (make them count) and the submission fee is $4.00. A single winner each month will walk away with $100.00. The challenge line is the focus of the contest. Each month, entrants to the contest will be given a line that has to be integrated into the story. Use whatever capitalization or punctuation you need, but the specified words must all appear in a row somewhere in the story. The challenge line has to fit in seamlessly, so that a reader won't know that it is special. If the challenge line stands out, or seems awkward, the entrant is disqualified. The monthly winner will get a Western Union money order for $100.00, mailed on the 15th of the following month, as well as publication on the site (one time electronic rights).
