Adding 301 redirect to a working RewriteRule

I am struggling with what is probably a very easy fix.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sotw/list/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /wp-content/plugins/wp-photocontest/view.php?post_id=$1&order=$2 [L]

NOTE: This is a WordPress site using custom permalinks. This URL Rewrite is for a plugin I want to clean up the url.

Old URL : www.mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-photocontest/view.php?post_id=2049&order=chrono

New URL : www.mywebsite.com/sotw/list/2049/chrono

Anything I link forward to the new url works. But I want to to redirect all of the OLD urls I have tried adding the following to my RewriteRule with no luck.

[R=301,L] [L,R=301,NC]

What should I try instead?

Have you tried just [R=301] you do not need the L flag as R prevents the rest of the file being checked.
