Just a quick reminder - the IGotNewsForYou Satire Writing Contest is coming to a close at the end of the month. That gives you about a week to send in submissions. All of the details are at http://www.igotnewsforyou.com/contest.html We're looking for short stories (100-150 words), in the format of "fake news". There are samples on the Contest page and some have been posted on this blog before, including here, here and here. To date, we've received over 40 submissions which ain't half bad if you ask me. I'd love to see more, and I'm sure we'll get a few more coming in before the deadline. A winner will be picked shortly after the close date of the contest: February 28, 2006. That winner will be emailed directly and announced on the blog. All contributors will receive a 1-year FREE subscription to IGotNewsForYou (once it launches). Value: Priceless (ok, not really, but it's still pretty cool.) So even if you don't win the contest, you're still a winner. We're all winners aren't we? Check out all the details and submit stories to admin@igotnewsforyou.com. Come on! (Technorati Tags: writing contest, satire)
