[stylist] Nonfiction Category in Contest

Sun Jun 7 18:26:22 UTC 2009

I had a professor once, the best professor I ever had in my accademic 
experience who said that if a person had a passsion and wanted to do 
research on it that this was a good thing they would become an expert in the 
field. So anyone who is chiming in on who to contact for sponsorship of 
contests if you have the iea you must have the energy to run with it. Go 
team! That person is not me. My passion is other things. Go for your passion 
and get contest sponsors. Help grow our division by Putting your money where 
your mouth is.
