Welcome to Scinti and our latest writing contest! We have received more than 200 submissions, each writer telling their own unique story. It was a pleasurable task reading through each and every story although it has been a challenge to choose 21 finalists out of many wonderful submissions. Thank you, to every one of you who took the time to write and send us your story. We wish that we could post each one, for everyone has a tale to tell.

We know that you will all enjoy reading through the 21 stories that have made it to the finalists. Guess who gets to choose the winners?

You do!

That’s right. It is up to you what the top ranking stories will be. By “liking” the story on Facebook, you will determine the contest winners. If there is a tie, then we will look at comments and are happy to hear which stories have touched your heart, brought a smile to your face, or even tears to your eyes. For more details on the voting process, please go here.

You can “like” your favorite stories any time between Monday, February 28th and Sunday, March 13th at 10PM eastern time. We look forward to hearing from you, as do the authors of these wonderful stories!
