By Oregon Women’s Report
3 Prizes: $50, $35 & $25.
Student Prize: $40
Previously written, published & blogged material gladly accepted.
Oregon Women’s Report is hosting our second annual Valentine’s Day writing contest with three $50.00 cash prizes for the three top winners. The contest theme is “love” and covers a wide spectrum of ideas from family, kids, relationships, advice, romance to friendships. Articles can be about life lessons, memorable family moments, acts of kindness, friendship, calls to community service and other love related topics. Original or previous written material is accepted. Poetry is also accepted.
Now is the time to dust of that great article you never submitted , re-open your old college creative writing papers or peek at that journal entry that recorded an important life moment perfectly. Turn your thoughts into something that can be seen and appreciated by others while earning $50.00 to splurge on whatever you wish. Most of all, you will have fun expressing yourself. If you are already a local author and/or blogger, we will promote your blog, book or website if your article is chosen. Good luck!
Word Count Limit: Under 400 words (suggested).
