What Are The Benefits Of Vote Based Writing Contests? by Ntasays(f): 9:45pm On Oct 13, 2013
The Etisalat Flash Fiction prize is a vote based contest driven 'entirely' by social media . While some see this as bad thing, I think there has to be a good side to it.
Some of the good sides I found were:

1. Helping writers build their platforms.

2. More visibility and exposure

3. Encouraging writers to value readers, not just art.

What do you think? Full dislosure: I am a part of the Dressed Like A Prince team. You can read the story on the etisalatprize site and vote and give us feedback too. :-) Thank you and God bless you!
