[stylist] Nonfiction Category in Contest

[Angela fowler]

Excellent ideas, Peter. As a mostly non fiction writer, I support whole
heartedly the idea of a nonfiction contest.

Good morning everyone,

    I wonder what the possibility of securing an Imagination Fund Grant for
expanding contest categories and securing on-going funding sources would be?

Perhaps some of our other divisions could sponsor various categories and/or
prizes. For example NOPBC might consider sponsoring prizes for our youth
contests or individuals sponsoring other contest prizes and/or categories. 
These are just a few ideas.

robert,
a third option worth considering is to seek sponsorship of the contests.
