Jason Hayes Music Competition

World of Warcraft music composer Jason Hayes is hosting a contest on his personal website in which fans can submit short stories that may be used for inspiration on his next album. Here are the full details:

I’m looking for excellent short stories upon which to base my new album. There will be 10 stories selected, and 10 corresponding music tracks. I will take the winning entries, and compose a piece for each to capture the essence of your story with music!

ANY kind of story is allowed- whether it is a fantasy fable, a science-fiction epic, a tragic love story, a suspense thriller, a small character-driven piece, or anything else you can think of! Your story can be fantastical or realistic, serious or light-hearted, fiction or non-fiction.

The ten winning entries will be featured on a special dedicated web site that will be unveiled with the album’s release. Complete with stunning original artwork and bios of each of the authors, the site will be designed as a companion piece to accompany this one-of-a-kind dramatic musical journey.

The rules are simple: your story needs to be completely original, non-published, and under 5,000 words.
