Contest guidelines
This contest is sponsored by the writers group in my area so I know it's legit. Last year's contest drew a total of 213 entries, so the competition in terms of numbers is not as stiff as some other contests. It's an all-volunteer effort done primarily as a service to writers and last year was the first time the group did not lose money on it.
Cash prizes are offered in each of five categories: fiction, nonfiction, flash fiction, poetry, and children's: 1st place: $100; 2nd place: $50; 3rd place: $25.
Entries are by snail mail only and must be received by 1:00 PM March 8, 2011.
Motivational thought: "When your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it." Jonathan Winters
