Star Wars Fanon
Short Story Contest
The Star Wars Fanon Short Story Contest is a contest held on Star Wars Fanon every six months to a year. The first contest was held in Fall 2009 and was hosted by Atarumaster88. The second contest, which took place in the summer of 2010, was hosted by Brandon Rhea. The third contest was held in the summer of 2011 by Trak Nar. The summer '11 contest was the first to feature a tie-breaking scenario. The fourth contest would have featured the first repeat host in Brandon Rhea but was canceled due to low turnout. The competition was placed on hiatus until 2020 when Atarumaster88 became the first official repeat host, reviving and shepherding the contest from May 9th to August 28th. With only two categories and winners, that fifth contest was the smallest to date. This page serves to document information from the contests.
