The High Concept Challenge is the imprint for a continuing series of writing challenges for the authors on RACC. Selected by vote, the winner(s) of each challenge run the next one!
Entries can be in any imprint, unless otherwise specified, and most LNH-related imprints have participated in at least one. One can't win the contest one is running, though many have written an entry for it anyway. Since HCC15, ties are broken by the contest runner.
