Date: Fri, 22 May 1998 12:12:35 -0500 From: Phanny Subject: WOW: CONTEST: 3 short summer contests OK alla youse slackers. It's time to start some cereal writing. We'll have 3 short summer contests, one a month. Each will be a different kind of writing with a theme. I'll give you the theme at the beginning of each month. JUNE contest: Poetry not longer than 50 lines, not including title and spaces. Theme: glass. Submission: June 1 until June 15 at midnight, your time. Please send submissions to me privately and I will resend to the list without the author's name. Authors will be revealed when the contest is over. If you send a submission to the list, it will be disqualified. Limit of two submissions per person. (All submissions will come from my address to the list.) Voting: June 16-30, midnight, your time. Winners will be announced July 1 or 2. You do not have to be an entrant to vote. All entrants will get two votes, one for themselves (mandatory) and one for the work of another author. So if you send in 2 submissions, you can only vote for one of your own. All other voters will get only one vote, for the work they think is a winner. Prize: Will be something worthwhile..... perhaps a beautiful, collectible Joe Rice paperweight or other paperweight. Perhaps something else I find in my ramblings this summer. Past winners know the beauty of the paperweights that have been prizes before. The other two summer contests will be announced at the beginning of each month, with a theme. Phanny
