CALL FOR WRITERS AND READERS
Since launching in July, FieldReport.com, a unique web community based on true-life stories, has already given away $90,000 in prizes in the lead-up to Febuary’s $250,000 grand prize contest. On February 15th 2009 a single true-life story of 2,000 words or less will be selected as the overall winner by the site’s membership. In addition to the grand prize, a $25,000 scholarship will go to the best submission by a teen from 13 to 17 years old.
Entry is free, but time is running out - all submissions for the Grand Prize contest must be received by December 31st 2008.
Winners of our qualifying contests have included ordinary people like Murr Brewster, an unpublished mail carrier from Portland . Other winners include best-selling author Laura Fraser, essayist and anthology editor Shari MacDonald Strong, and New York Times “Habitat” columnist Stephen P. Williams.
Information on entering can be found at www.FieldReport.com. To enter, you need to rank five stories by other members and then upload one of your own.
