Does this mean we're not allowed to use other words that are not a part of a song title?

For example, if I wanted to say My Name is Beat of Angel, would that not be allowed since the "is" is not part of a BoA song title?

Another example.... I want to Eat You Up .... I want to is again not a BoA song title. So is this not permitted?

Thanks in advance for the clarification!

You MAY use others word =D.

Oh good. Although it might have been interesting if only allowed to use titles haha.

I really don't think that you can write anything ONLY using BoA song titles xD; most sentences would make no sense ...especially since they said we can also write short stories and bold each song used!

I just sent in my poem, I hope it's good x_X hoping for the best ...

Yes.

Oh no! I first misread "Short stories must have a 500 word limit" and thought the story must at least have 500 words!
I nearly finished my story now and it seems like to have more than 1000 words...
Aaah, I really want to enter the contest with this story since I can't write any better one but I can't limit it to 500 wods, it's impossible

I have some questions too... about the poem
how long have to be?

and it is just folow the rules of rhyme and rhythm, right? (doesn't matter the language .. english, korean or japanese)
and make combination with the final sounds.. isn't it?

Thank you so much...
this is going to be fun!

With Poems, it doesn't matter the size (just don't go over the 500 character limit), you just need to make sure that you have a minimum of 10 BoA song titles included in it for it to be accepted. And, overall, the poem should be in English, the song titles can be in any language of Korean, Japanese, or English, but overall, we staff want  to be able to understand it without having to get a translator or use any language classes we have had in the past.

I'm sure it's not impossible Just edit your story, or have someone edit your story and help you shorten it.

As long as the story/poem is in English, you can enter from anywhere in the world.

Does the word count include the words in the title? because my story is 502 words long but only because the title is 3 words long

[_sweetKiwi]

Ohh, this is interesting, I might just give this a try.
