Am I understanding that the process is this:

1) We receive an email with the prompt

2) We respond to the prompt by uploading the story to to the forum.

3) Eventually we receive feedback (or not, depending on how many people enter the contest)?

Is that the extent of how this works or is there more?

How many prompts per round?

Apologies if this was all covered somewhere already.

I am actually wondering the same, as I haven't received an email yet today. Have you?!

First time here as well! I'm tentatively excited for the prompt - from what I've read it's just 1 per round, and should get emailed to us at midnight in New York (so about 6 hours from now). Hoping that will have instructions about how to submit!

If it makes you feel better, I had to look at it a couple of times to figure it out as well. Oh well, I should probably sleep once in a while ;)

In case you didn’t see it—

Do not post your story to the forum to submit. There is a link to submit your story in the assignment email or you can email it as well. They generally will let you know when all stories are confirmed as received and we can post them to the forum for peer feedback. 

The judges that read your piece will all give some sort of feedback. This typically comes in a few days before the next round, which is when you will find out if you advance.

Ah. Thank you very much. It wasn't clear if there were rounds or you had to do all three.
