• Surface-Mailed submissions will not be returned.
  
• Submissions will be reviewed by the Annual Campaign Short Story Contest Staff.
  
• Five stories will be chosen for final judging.
  
• The top five entries will be judged and ranked by Keith R. A. DeCandido, author of the Star Trek Novel "A Singular Destiny".
  
• Prizes will be awarded.
  

Rules:

• Submissions may be printed in the Starfleet Communiqué (CQ) and/or online Starfleet Lists which may be read by children; therefore, the stories must be U.S. rated "PG" and must not contain profanity or graphic descriptions of sexual acts. The document must be deemed acceptable on American network television in the 8:00 p.m. prime time slot. While violence can be part of a story, horrendously gory violence may decrease a person's likelihood of being selected as the winner.
  
• By entering, contestants retain the rights to their submissions, but grant Starfleet the right to reprint their work in the CQ (with minor
  editorial spelling corrections, if necessary).
  
• Contestants agree to allow Starfleet to use portions of their story in any promotional materials we may create (such as e-mails or flyers).
  
• The writer agrees to supply us with a photo of themselves to use in the CQ although writers can request their image not be used.

We're looking forward to reading some really fantastic stories by STARFLEET's Finest Writers!!
