I have decided to enter two writing competitions a month, if I can find ones interesting enough and/or with good enough prizes to enter. My competitions for this month are:-
Closing date: 31st December 2007
Prize: 1st $2,500, 2nd $1,500 3rd $1,000
Guidelines: Entries consist of 25 pages of related short stories, essays or the first 25 pages of a longer work. (I estimate 25 pages to be about 6000 words)
Closing date: 31st December 2007
Prize: 5 day writing course in Wales (27th July - 1st Aug. I know, that's the Nodpot Anniversary and, while it is in Wales, I don't think it is in Port Merrion!)
Guidelines: Entries consist of the first 1000 words of a novel.

Good luck with both of those - what are you entering??
Also I was thinking 2008 - Year of the Short Story. I think we should try and write one a week - or at least two a month, and build up our writing cvs.
What do you think?
Thanks VT, i've something new in the pipeline for these comps. The year of the short story sounds good, I was thinking along the lines of one a week as well. Even if they are rubbish, it is good practice, and one a month is bound to be good enough to send out.
