Writing Contest Open to All!

You don't have to be a member of Florida Freelance Writer's Association to enter their 25th Annual Florida State Writing Competition, but it will save you a little on the entrance fees if you are. You may submit work in any or all of six categories: Nonfiction (either unpublished/self-published or previously published), Fiction (unpublished/self-published or previously published Short Story or Chapter), Children's Literature (unpublished/ self-published), and Poetry (unpublished/self-published Traditional or Free Verse). Prizes:

• 1st Place -- $100 plus certificate
• 2nd Place: $75 plus certificate
• 3rd Place: $50 plus certificate
• Honorable Mention: Certificates will be awarded in each category as warranted
  

Entry fees range from $3 to $20, depending on if you are a member, which category you're entering, and the length of your work. The deadline is March 15, 2008, and if you enclose a self-addressed envelope, they will mail you a winner's list by March 31st. Also, if you send them a self-addressed, stamped postcard, they will notify you upon receiving your manuscripts.
