UPDATE:

The winner of our Winter Story Prompt Contest is Shirley Howard. Her entry Mushroom Madness was awarded 1st Place. She received a certificate, a cash prize of $25, and free registration to our 2024 Conference.
 
Her prompt was:
“You’re lost in the woods, starving. Without thinking,
you eat a weird mushroom you found. What happened?”
 
Her story was entertaining and well written. Thank you to everyone who entered our contest!
