1. Write a fictional short story inspired by the theme "Beyond Borders." Interpret the theme in any way that sparks your imagination - whether it's physical borders, personal boundaries, or the crossing of worlds. The word "bridge" must appear at least once in your story, but it does not have to center around the concept of a literal bridge.
2. Stories must be your original work which has not been published before or submitted previously as homework or a contest entry.
When you quote or refer to other people’s words or ideas, you must properly credit the source.
3. All currently enrolled GIST students (undergraduate, graduate, and international students) can participate.
4. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to contact an LEC instructor or check out this Guide. (The guide is provided only to help with the writing process, but you are not required to follow the example structures given). Also, check out these sample short stories for ideas and inspiration.
5. You are not allowed to copy and paste AI-generated content and represent it as your own work. Content from translation apps like Papago and Google Translate are often detected as AI generated content, so their use should be limited to individual words or phrases.
6. BE CREATIVE!
