Submission Options

Option A:

BY MAIL ($25.00 entry fee)

Submissions sent by mail will be typed, double-spaced (no small print, please), accompanied by a completed entry form, and a cashier's check, personal check or money order for $25 made out to Writingcompetition.com. (Entries from outside the United States are fine, but entry fees and payouts MUST be made in U. S. dollars. Foreign entrants are strongly urged to use international money orders rather than personal checks.) Personal checks must clear--entries will not be considered valid until they do. Checks that fail to clear by the end of the competition will be discarded, along with the entry.

Multiple entries are allowed. If two or more are enclosed in the same envelope, only one entry form is required. If physically separate entries are submitted, duplicate entry forms must be attached. Each distinct entry requires the $25 fee. If multiple entries arrive with one check for $25, only the top one will be considered; the others will be discarded.

A self-addressed, stamped envelope will be included with the entry.

ELECTRONICALLY ($28.00--$25.00 + $3.00 transaction fee)

Submissions sent electronically must be sent as attachments in Word.  Current Contest Entry must be typed in the subject column of the email. The information requested on the entry form can either be typed into the attached email, or included in the Word document.  If included in the Word document, entry form information should be on the first page.  The entry must be on a separate page from the entry form information.  PayPal payment must be made BEFORE submitting the entry, and the PayPal transaction ID number must appear on both the entry and with the entry form information.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS REQUIRE A THREE DOLLAR ($3.00) TRANSACTION FEE TO BE INCLUDED WITH THE ENTRY FEE, THUS THE TOTAL PAYMENT FOR ELECTRONIC ENTRIES IS TWENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS ($28.00).  Multiple entries must be paid for separately.

Elements of options A and B CANNOT BE COMBINED (i.e., entrants cannot send payment by mail and submit entry electronically).  Either both payment and entry must be sent by mail, or both must be sent electronically.
