What The Fur 2016 writing contest

However, amidst the theory, there are two absolute, unequivocal facts.
1) They are not like us.
2) We will never truly understand them.

As you might have heard we, at What The Fur, will be hosting the 2016 Ursa Awards. In the spirit of these awards, we decided to revive a contest, to bring a spotlight on the artists that make our community brighter and better.
The contest in question is a writing contest; although stories will always be accepted in the convention booklet, these will have the potential to win a prize, while being published in another booklet that will be sent/given to those that participated.
The rules
- The limit for the submission is 1500 words and the theme is the same as the convention. (SFW only) (Secret Agent)
- There will be two ''categories'', based on language; one for French, one for English; the standards are the same for both.
- You can only submit once in each category.
- There will be winners (2) for each category.
-Word documents and WordPad documents are accepted (RTF, Doc, Docx)
The contest will end at 25 April 2016, so there is time

Comme vous le savez peut-être déjà, les Ursa Awards se dérouleront chez-nous, à What The Fur, cette année. Dans l’esprit de cet événement, nous avons décidé de ramener un concours, pour donner leur chance aux artistes dont les efforts apportent tant à notre communauté.
Il s’agit d’un concours d’écriture; bien que des histoires seront toujours acceptées dans le livret de la convention, ceci représentera une chance de gagner un prix, en plus d’une publication dans un autre livret qui sera envoyé/distribué à ceux qui auront participé.
Les règles
- L’histoire doit avoir un maximum de 1500 mots et son thème doit être le même que la convention. (SFW seulement)
- Il y aura deux “catégories”, en se basant sur la langue; une en français, une en anglais; les standards seront les mêmes pour les deux.
- Vous pouvez présenter une seule histoire par catégorie.
- Il y aura des gagnants (2) pour chaque catégorie.

The limit date is 25 april 2016 and it is general secret agents ^^
At just under 750 words per page I'll have to consider what to do with two pages.
This might be a fun little project! Time to give it some consideration.
Thanks for considering ^^
Good luck and I am sure we will :3
I didn't see specifically what the prize IS, but that's cool regardless!
Is it an all expense paid trip to What The Fur? ;)
And I couldn't ship that in time XD
One does not have to attend to the WTF convention itself to enter the contest, I hope? Living in Europe makes a hop over to Canada not that easy, sadly.
It's the same limit as our conbook too :3
What would the prize even be?
Also, would a story I already posted here on FA be valid, if I shortened it down to 1500 words?
It could work, if it isn't a commission/or a story for another contest/convention :3
