Attention Magicians! Enter the Battle The Beast Contest

Create a short story about one of Quentin's battles with The Beast for your chance to win $10,000 and have your story turned into a digital short.

You may not be trained in the ways of magic, as depicted in The Magicians ... but how about the magic of storytelling?

How to Watch

Catch up on The Magicians on the SYFY app.

Quentin Coldwater spent an entire semester at Brakebills trying to stop and destroy the evil force known as The Beast. When he finally took on his arch-enemy, Quentin discovered that it was actually not the first but the 40th time in which they faced off (thanks to a powerful time spell).

So ... what were those previous 39 encounters like? Write a short story imagining any of Quentin's earlier Battles with The Beast for your chance to win $10,000 ... and have your story turned into a digital short! It's the perfect way to spend the month of January as you await the second season of The Magicians, which commences on January 25.
