CALL FOR WRITERS AND READERS: SEPTEMBER 15 DEADLINE
FieldReporthttp://fieldreport.com, a new web site that has been called American Idol for writing, is requesting submissions of true-life stories for the first of three monthly contests that will determine the finalists for the $250,000 FieldReport Prize for Experiential Writing. As far as we can determine, this is the world's largest prize for a single piece of writing. The winner will be announced in early January, 2009. In addition to the Grand Prize, a $25,000 scholarship will go to the best teen submission.
In order to qualify for the grand prize contest, enter a true-life story of 2,000 words or less and win one of twenty $1,000 category prizes awarded each month leading up to the January 1st Grand Prize award. Enter a story by September 15 to win one of the October 1st monthly prizes. Qualifiers are chosen by our patent-pending Objective Community Ranking Engine so that quality, not popularity, pushes the best FieldReports to the top. There is no entry fee.
