Those unfamiliar with the enormous amount of work entailed in the production of Christinas Numbers of Illustrated Papers, will doubtless be surprised, and perhaps a littlo amused, that the Editor should announce the arrangements for QHEIBTMAS. J_QQQ^ and invite contributors to send in stories for the COMPETITION PRIZES. Experience has taught that it is next to impossible to be too far beforehand. Tho enormous number of MSS. received have each to be carefully read and judged by five judges, who independently record their opinions on paper absolutely without reference, or in fact knowledge, of tbe opinion of any of the others. Illustrations have to be designed and executed, a work of considerable time, and all this must be done in conjunction, -with the usually heavy work of bringing out a weekly illustrated paper equal to the bost European productions of the same class. The leading English illustrated papers invariably commence work on their Christmas issues very early in the year. Determined to take time by the forelock, the Editor of the " NEW ZEALAND GRAPHIC" has pleasure in announcing THE NEXT CHRISTMAS -pRIZES. First Prize ... ... £5 0 0 Second Prize £3 0 0 Third Prize £2 0 0 The Stories must not he les3 than 4,C00. or more than 6.500 words in length, and free from anything unsuitable for all classes of readers. A short outline of the plot, about 500 words, should be attached tor the assistance of the editor. It will be seen by Rule 7 that tho broadest j scope is allowed. So that the scene of the story j is laid in New Zealand, the choice of subject is unlimited. Many new writers entered last year, and the Editor hopes for further introduction to new hands in the noxt competition. Absolute attention to rules is imperative. RULES. 1. The "GRAPHIC" reserves the right to publish any story sent in other than the prize stories. 2. MSS. will not bo returned before tho result is announced, ond applications oefore that date will not receive attention. After the results of tho competition are made known, the Editor will post unsuccessful MSS. to those who then make application, enclosing stamps. 3. The Editor cannot undertake to answer inquirieshavingrefereucqtothetreatmentofthe stories ia detail. The particulars given are sufficient for the purposes of the competition, and everything else is left to the judgment aud discretion of the competitors. The award of the judges will be published-as soon after the close of the Competition as possible, and no information respecting the award will be given to any competitor before this publication, 4. Each MSS. should be prepaid, and if left open at 'the ends will he carried at book post rates. It should be addressed to the "Editor. 'NEW ZEALAND GRAPHIC,' Shortlandat., Auckland." 5. A Motto instead of the writer's name mvs 1 be written under the title of the story.
