I'd like to recommend the website "FicFun to you.(www.ficfun.com)
Generally speaking, FicFun is an amazing website with many new fictions including fantasy, romance, science and so on... It is by nature an online library for people who love fiction reading and creating. As a writer, many friends of mine put their works on this website . We find it has a friendly attitude for new writers and provide us a great environment to grow up. You can easily see this from the writing contest it organizes recently. I am a participant under the invitation of my friends and hope these information could give you some help:
Time: It last for 2 months.
RangeRomance, Teen Fiction, Vampire/ Werewolf, Mystery/ Crime, Fantasy/Science-Fiction...
Awards 25 winners for the Fan Choice Award
10 winners for Editor's Choice Award
7 winners for Readers Award
Also, this contest impresses us in the following aspects:
Firstly, it didn't charge any fees from the participants. Maybe that is why some people considered it as a hoax (I found this situation when I searched relative information online. However, all this kind of views are personal doubts which has no basis in fact.) Since the award-winning list has been announced, you can easily tell its authenticity.
Secondly, the site set big bonuses and the winners would have chance to become signed authors of FicFun. This behavior wins my respect and touch, to a certain degree. I think all new writers like my friends and me are trying hard to look for different chances to make our works known by more people, but it is not an easy thing. Being signed by a website means constant attention and that's what we need the most in this period.
One last thing I want to share is not that relative to the contest. The website has a group of Discord. In this group writers could talk about their works and give advice to each other. My friends and I are now in this group. The editors are so young and all of them are kindly willing to share ideas with writers. It is a great advantage of new website that it can give new writers lots of guidance. Hope the editors could keep friendly and helpful whether if the website will be popular or not.
Although the curtain descends on the first FicFun Writing Contest, you have no need to be disappointed because the 2nd contest will soon begin.
I got this news from the Discord group I mentioned above several days before they officially launched the page, so if you want to be kept involved and get latest information, you can also join the group. Hope you can have a try and get a good ranking. Good luck.
