Essay Contest Framework Creation

Job ID: 40466388

Budget: ₹750 – ₹1,250 INR

I’m setting up a writing competition that accepts essays only—no poetry, no genre fiction—and I need a turnkey framework I can launch immediately. The heart of the project is a robust, evenly-weighted judging rubric for structure, insight, and overall writing quality, but I also require every supporting element that makes a contest run smoothly from announcement to winner reveal.

Here’s what I expect to receive:

• Call-for-entries copy: engaging, clear on length range, formatting specs, and a firm deadline while still allowing writers thematic freedom as long as the piece reads as an essay.
• Rules & disqualifiers: originality requirement, English-language submission, strict prohibition of plagiarism or AI-generated text, plus a straightforward enforcement clause.
• Judging rubric: three criteria—structure, insight, writing quality—each carrying equal weight, with a concise tie-breaker plan spelled out.
• Submission workflow: a recommendation between Google Forms, Submittable, or a similarly streamlined tool, including folder logic and file-naming conventions that keep everything searchable.
• Timeline: launch date through winner announcement, showing checkpoints for first read, shortlist creation, and final judging.

I value demonstrable experience in contest design or literary program management; please highlight comparable projects you’ve handled. If anything above seems ambiguous, feel free to flag it early so we can lock details before you draft. I’m ready to move quickly once I find the right collaborator.
