Is there any point deduct for having too few words? If I can wrap up my story in 1,000 words rather than 2,500 will I receive a worse score?
Thanks!

you wont get points deducted necessarily for having less words, but its entirely possible the judges will score other stories higher. If you are less than half the word count, its possible the story is actually too small for the format / there could be more world building, more action, more characterization, etc.
