[stylist] Nonfiction Category in Contest

[LoriStay at aol.com]

Note:   If we give smaller prizes, we will have fewer entries!

It seems to me a good idea to at least ask for an Imagination fund grant.   
But to get it, we'll need to sponsor a nonfiction contest asking people to 
either write their blindness experiences or to discuss their philosophy of 
blindness and how they applied it (Which I suppose is almost the same thing). 
  I don't know if the Imagination fund would care to sponsor poetry and/or 
fiction contests.   (Need to ask)
