What is the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest?

I'm not that fast at answering but came across the information when I was writing a quiz and this is adapted from the interesting information:

The phrase 'it was a dark and stormy night' appeared at the start of the novel 'Paul Clifford' (1830) by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. The book's style and the sentence of which the phrase is a part have come to be cited as an example of 'purple' and overly dramatic nineteenth century English prose. In 1982 Professor Scott Rice devised the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest and the winner of this is the one deemed to have written the worst opening to a bad work of fiction. The winner in 2020 was Lisa Kluber with: 'Her Dear John missive flapped unambiguously in the windy breeze, hanging like a pizza menu on the doorknob of my mind.'
