How To Register for 2020/2021 Kreative Diadem Annual Creative Writing Contest

The contest is Kreative Diadem’s way of celebrating creativity, originality, and everything in between. The 2020 edition has two genres: Poetry and Flash fiction.

Poetry: They love the way poems leave a trace of emotions everywhere. They are words that pierce the soul just to drop a message and even leave some eyes misty. It’s not compulsory to write like Shakespeare, they only need you to provoke their thoughts.

Flash Fiction: Writers live twice because even when they are no more, their stories do the talking for them. They love wickedly suspenseful fiction with twists here and there. Tell them a unique story, make us believe it’s true and go home with a cash prize.
