And like dh, I look at trying for a big one (big in name and money, etc) and a small one from a journal I really like (Backwards City Review, for example).<BR/><BR/>There are a few free ones out there two (free and legit I should say), but I'll post about those later.ryan callhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520530093640135180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065181171280909970.post-91480412875985684352007-09-28T11:43:00.000-04:002007-09-28T11:43:00.000-04:00I am waiting for the spring contests at GMU.

I don't have a lot of experience with contests, though--I'd like to hear what other people are doing. From what I gather it's good to go for a few--maybe one big one like the Chicago Tribune's <A HREF="http://www.chicagotribune.com/about/custom/events/chi-csliteraryprizes-htmlstory,0,4283547.htmlstory?coll=chi-frontleftblurbs-fea" REL="nofollow">Nelson Algren contest</A>, one smaller jackpot but relatively high profile like <A HREF="http://www.all-story.com/contests.cgi" REL="nofollow">Zoetrope's</A> (but the deadline on that one is like Monday, so hurry folks), and one kind of small one . . . (any ideas there?).<BR/><BR/>There's my 3 dollars and loose change in the guitar case--I'd like to hear from others . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
