Congrats to our own Amaruhizat who is one of the finalists in the first Nanotales competition for short short stories, co-sponsored by the Guardian and Ziji. 100 entries made it through out of 2187 stories submitted, and organizer Ziv Navoth says :... in my humble opinion, we may have some of the world's best stories!The winner is to be decided by public voting, rather than by the judges, a decision that not all agree with, going by the comments on Ziv's blog page. I must say I like the idea that there is public participation which encourages the stories to be read and thought about, and which perhaps will in turn encourage others to try their hand at Nanotales.
Go visit Amaruhizat's page here and do drop by to leave him some comments about his story and rate it. But do read the rest of the stories and judge all of them on merit!!!
