October 28, YC120 - 3 bil ISK and 500 PLEX added to the loot pool.  Prizes amounts upgraded, extra Very Short Fiction

prizes got buffed with an additional Third Prize.  Sorry for the moving targets for the prizes.  "Nothing [EVE] is certain."  -H.S. Crow (paraphrase). 

o7 and appreciated, new sponsors!

​

The prize pool currently totals a loot drop over 71 bil ISK, purely thanks to donations from player members of the community.

Prizes will be a mixture of PLEX, item loot, and cold hard cash.  The detailed mix for each category may change as we go 

along.  Kind and generous people tend to donate additional loot as the event  progresses.

​

Grand Prize

‘Crusader’ Beret (Amarr Empire) + ‘Liberator’ Beret (Minmatar Republic) + 500 PLEX + ISK (10.5 bil ISK value)

This prize usually goes to the best story in the 8,000 Suns canon-faithful

category, but if a story from either of the other categories gets a score that

really outstrips the best in 8,000 Suns, it could steal it.
