The Gemme Community welcomes you to the Wernerite Short Story Contest (WSSC).

Why Wernerite you might ask. Our precious writers are called like that and their name is inspired by the wernerite gemstone. Wernerite (or scapolite) is an uncommon crystal with potent energy to reform new values and restructure character and personality. It helps unlock new opportunities and helps people discover themselves.

This is what writing means to us. With this writing contest, we hope you use your imagination to create and show to the world a glimpse of your personality.

Without further ado, scroll down to check the rules and find out how the contest works.
