I’m unsure of how many people are explicitly aware of the Bulwer-Lytton contest, but the general idea is people submit introductory one-liner sentences that are meant to be written as poorly as possible, with awards given to the best worst submissions in any year.

I’ve linked to the winner’s catalogue. Any particular blurbs stand out to you? Any examples from your own work?
