 Win BIG! With These Writing Competitions Rated:
ASR
 Writing Contests/Competitions Outside of Writing.Com
by: UY... View lifewriter's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private]Email User: lifewriter [Offline / Private] Avg Rating: (10)  
I surf the internet daily, for various reasons. I read news, browse for information both for personal use and for my writing, and play games.

I've happened upon many writing contests in my eight years of surfing the net and I've decided to help spread the word of some good ones. I surf a lot and I only choose those contests which are free to enter, are well run and maintained and offer either a substantial prize or a smaller prize but run by a well known company.

An example would be the Top Ten joke in the David Letterman contest. Not only would the winner win a mousepad, but of course, their joke would be on the show.

If you happen upon some great WRITING contests, please put them here. One no-no: Please do not include any links for poetry.com! They are a bonafide scam and I do not endorse that site at all. Thanks!

Please follow these guidelines:

Bullet One must need to write something to win.
Bullet A contest has not ended when you post, and one has ample time to enter.
Bullet Writing Competitions must *not* be a contest hosted on Writing.Com.
Bullet In your post, type http://URL.com, a very brief description and the contest begin and end date, if available. If you have room, post the Grand Prize.

I would prefer there be no entry fee, but I will not delete posts with reasonable guidelines and fees.

As contests end, I will delete the post.

Example: http://xeroxaspiringauthors.com Non-published book contest. Ends July 1, 2005. Click link for prizes!

Star And don't forget "Burn My Letter - Volume 5 for those regular writing submissions!

http://www.shadowpoetry.com - Although they retired some of their contests, they still have a few running, including one for chapbooks. Small entry fee, but you don't have to be a member of the site to enter. Poetry only. (unako View unako's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private])

This is a forum with links to many contests: http://www.contestblogger.com/forum/?forum=5&page=1 (UY... View lifewriter's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private])

http://www.bylinemag.com/contests.asp This magazine is out of Oklahoma and is for new writers. It is very reputable and very inexpensive. They have three or four contests each month. ~Fixed link for Rixfarmgirl View rixfarmgirl's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private] (UY... View lifewriter's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private])

http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/top_ten/contest David Letterman's Top Ten. Win a Late Show mousepad for submitting a top ten joke! Contest end date unknown. (UY... View lifewriter's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private])
