OFFICIAL MASTERMIND COMPETITION FORMAT & RULES (UPDATED AUGUST 2025)
FORMAT

Every few months, our community will host a one-month-long “Mastermind” competition. We will post an announcement about any new upcoming season at least one week before the season premieres.
During the month, any member is welcome to participate in writing and posting a response to a single creative writing challenge.
After the month, all opportunities for submissions will close and the judge will spend around two weeks grading each submission. They will provide scores and feedback.
Please give the judge(s) at least two weeks after the due date to process and return the feedback and scores. Once the scores are finalized, the results will be published in the group page that is associated with the season you participated in. Scores are assigned based on the following marking criteria:

At the end of the competition, the three people with the highest scores will be contacted for their permission to post their work on our website's “Exemplar” page. We will contact the winners via email from info@projectinfinitybp.com. We will not use any other email address to contact the winners.
NOTE: We will not offer prizes because we want to encourage members to participate and compete in an authentic manner. We believe that writing is best practiced when it is fun, challenging, and self-initiated.
If you have any questions or queries, please stay up to date with us on our Discord Community. Note that you need a Discord account to do so and you can create one for free.
