ENDING: Wattpad Battle the Beast Contest
February 8, 2017
Wattpad’s Battle the Beast Contest is for a short story up to 1500 words based on Lev Grossman’s The Magicians.
Summary
In the book and T.V. show The Magicians, readers find out (spoiler alert!) that the main character has gone up against his ultimate foe–the Beast–forty times, due to a time reversal spell. This contest asks Wattpad writers to create a short story set in one of those other 39 adventures. Lev Grossman himself will be a judge (alongside a Wattpad panel), and the winning story will become a digital short and win a grand prize of $10,000. The deadline for submission is February 9th at 2:59am EST/ 7:59am GMT.
