[stylist] writing contests

[Applebutter Hill]

Vejas,
Most contests have some sort of a fee, including ours here at the Writers'
Division. In some cases, groups are trying to get their name out there for
other services they provide. I think you need to weigh the cost against the
benefit of possibly having a win in your column. I didn't look into these
contests specifically, but you can research and see who's won in the past or
if anyone has posted any problems with the way they do business.

Hi,
This is very interesting.
I'm just wondering, why would you want to enter a writing contest for a fee?
I have heard that sometimes they just want to take advantage of you.
Just curfdds.

I just discovered that if you live in Nebraska, Colorado, New Jursey, and I
think Vermont and Mariland, you can't enter contests that have a fee.  So if
I wanted to enter a writing contest that charges five bucks, I can't do it.



Anyone have any recent info on this?
