Paper Perfect’s $100 essay writing competition, “If I ruled the world.”

http://www.paper-perfect-editing.com/2009/11/essay-writing-contest-win-100/

Have you ever had one of those days when you wished you were in charge? When you thought to yourself – “If I ruled the world, I’d do it differently…” Here’s your chance to express yourself! Let your brilliant writing and passionate ideas flow – and win yourself some much deserved recognition (and a little cash) as well. Introducing…Paper Perfect’s $100 essay writing competition, “If I ruled the world.”

In 1000 words or less, tell us what you hate about the world – what bothers you or ticks you off, and how you’d fix it if you were running things. How would politics/economies be organized? Would there be more freedom or less? New laws or rules? You don’t necessarily have to argue for a world that would be better for everyone – if you want to be a despot or tyrant, tell us why. We are looking for the best and most interesting writing; not necessarily the nicest.

2009 New Delta Review Creative Nonfiction Contest

Judge: Peggy Shinner

“Nonfiction writers do not make things up; they make ideas and information that already exist more interesting and, often, more accessible.” –Lee Gutkind

We agree. NDR seeks pieces that activate the compelling bits of “real” life. We welcome hybrid essays, ones that expose the insides of things to risk making language do new things. Personal essays are welcome, too. Use a slice of memoir, but use also a dose of self-awareness. Autobiographical moments which are digested and used to engage the reader delight us.

Prize: $150 and publication in The New Delta Review. Winners receive two contributors’ copies. Finalists will also be considered for publication.

Deadline: November 30th (postmark date)

Submit:
• previously unpublished nonfiction piece (up to 4,000 words)
• completed entry form/title page with all contact information
• $10 entry fee postmarked by November 30th
