Fee-Free Writing Contests, Grants, And More! By Erika Dreifus
By Erika Dreifus printable version. Excerpted from FREE EXPRESSION 101 FeeFreeContests, competitions, and Other Opportunities for Resourceful Writers!
http://www.writersweekly.com/this_weeks_article/001087_01072004.html

Extractions: FREE EXPRESSION: 101 Fee-Free Contests, Competitions, and Other Opportunities for Resourceful Writers! "What do you all think about contests?" one of my colleagues asked our online writing group. "Do you think you get a better read when you actually pay a reading/entry fee?" No one responded to that query (publicly, at any rate). Although I've entered many literary competitions, my colleague's question is not one I can answer, either. I've never administered or judged a contest, and frankly, there are just too many competitions out there for anyone to issue any generalizations about their inner workings. There are, however, some wonderfully useful articles in print and on the web that offer a variety of individual ideas about what prospective entrants might consider in evaluating potential competitions and preparing to submit work. You'll find some of these listed within the references included near the end of my book, FREE EXPRESSION: 101 Fee-Free Contests, Competitions, and Other Opportunities for Resourceful Writers

http://www.sfwa.org/beware/contests.html

Extractions: Links There are hundreds of literary contests, online and off. Most are real; some are even prestigious. But many are fake. And of the legitimate ones, few are important enough to provide a meaningful addition to your writing resume. Contest Fakes Fake contests come in many different guises, but they all have a common goalto take your money. Some are outright scams. For instance, one fee-charging literary agency advertises a contest where the prize is agency representation. Representation is indeed offered (to everyone who enters), but the catch is that it comes with a hefty editing fee attached. Another agency uses a false name to run its contestentrants are told that even though they didn't win their work is "exceptional", and referred to the agency, which charges an up-front fee. Other contests are run by questionable publishers. Often the prize is a book contract, and the winners don't find out until afterward that they must pay a fee for publication, or agree to pre-purchase large numbers of books, or pay the publisher for a publicity campaign (a good reason never to enter a contest that doesn't allow you to refuse a contract if it's offered). Or the publisher may give the list of entrants to a vanity publishing service or a fee-charging literary agency, which then sends out solicitations and pays the first publisher a kickback if any of the entrants bite.

Chapter Quicklink What's the Buzz Escape Hatch: Open Mic Competitions in literature are a means of measuring the writing skill of authors against other authors writing in the same genre. One of the most common of the literary competitions is the essay contest. In an essay contest, a central idea or theme is given to the writers and they are given a specified amount of time in which to produce their best work. The winner is usually determined by criteria such as persuasiveness, style, and technical writing ability. Awards in literature are usually given to the best work in a particular genre. Works receiving awards usually represent groundbreaking ideas in literature or an exemplary ability to communicate the author's thoughts to the readership.

The messages run the gamut of those who have been scammed to those who rave about contests. So where does the truth lie? For as many contests for writers there are out there, there are as many truths. 1. Visit the websites listed below under resources. Many offer comments on writing contests which can help you decide which ones are for you, and which ones are to avoid. Do an internet search on the publication, business or person running the contest. While not answering all your questions, this type of search can help you cross off questionable contests. 2. If a contest is free to enter, you have nothing to lose, but still read the fine print. There are contests that claim rights to any winning stories, or even all submissions. For contests with an entry fee, decide if the prize money justifies the fee. For example, would you pay $15 entry fee for a poetry contest where the winner received $35 as the prize? Would you pay a fee if the prize was publication, or a book?

Extractions: Contests are an educational experience especially suited for homeschooled students. What can contests do for your child academically? Consider: that subject. It was a combination of good topic, competition, and reward that did the trick. A contest can bring together all the skills you’ve taught your children into one exciting finale. To write this paper on space exploration, numerous subjects will be covered: grammar, spelling, punctuation, science, penmanship or typing skills, logic (construction of arguments), and rhetoric (expressing your point in an eloquent manner). So, actually, this one essay contest is not just "another composition" to write, but a whole unit study in itself, with the final product bringing, as Jessica Hulsey says, "closure." Contests develop character qualities. Many of these contests take a long time to complete. Some, such as a Science and Engineering Fair science project, will take an entire school year. It develops perseverance and diligence. Contests can seem overwhelming and unmanageable if looked at as a whole, but by planning and organization the process can be broken down into bite sized pieces. The student strives toward his goal, doing his best job, and in the end can obtain the "satisfaction and pride of a job well done" (as Ranger Bill would say). Some contests require teamwork. The National Written & Illustrated By...Awards Contest provided an opportunity for my oldest daughter Johannah to teach her younger sister Helena watercolor techniques.
