Hi. Hola. Namaste. Salve. Konnichiwa. Marhaba. Aloha. Ni Hao!

We begin this year's Online Writing Contests with a classic - a crossword puzzle!

This crossword is set by Ramki Krishnan, current champion of Indian crossword league(IXL) for the third time in a row. He also sets grids for The Hindu's online blogspot and solving crossies is his biggest passion.

Well, the rules are simple. Do it quickly. Get it right.

Greetings folks!
After several rounds of reading we've finally come to a consensus on the best entries for the short fiction contest.

Congratulations Aastha Jha from Mount Carmel and Rahul Chauhan from BITS! :D
Exciting prizes coming your way. :D

Your entries made for a delightful read and they'll soon be featured on the SSN ELC Blog!

That brings us to the end of the online contests for the SSN Litfest. We'll be back in March with a new set of events for our cultural fest Instincts! Stay tuned! :D

So the writers out there got a little too cosy with the weather and would like some time to add finishing touches to their works. So after several requests to our inbox we've decide to push the deadline for the Short Fiction Contest to 5:00pm, October first.
Good Luck you guys!
