I wanted to drop a note to all the writers on the forum --
Yoursphere.com is hosting a contest for young writers. You could become an editor at Yoursphere!
The contest asks a simple question:
"What's your passion? Love reading comic books, playing piano or fine-tuning the art of the afternoon nap? Tell us about it! Or perhaps you enjoy crushing friends at Wii tennis, humming in the bathtub, skipping class, texting with a certain someone, watching rugby, baking blackberry muffins or eco-travel? Your answer can be anything—we want to know about whatever makes you...YOU! Use any format or tone you like, just tell us in a compelling fashion what you love to do most."
The writers of the top three essays will receive a $500 savings bond and become paid Yoursphere.com contributing editors, as well as receive a one year free membership to Yoursphere.com.
The guidelines:
Submissions should be 350-600 words. Entrants must be under the age of 19, Yoursphere membership not required. All entries are due December 15, 2008. Winners will be announced January 5, 2009.
To enter:
Submit your essay in the body of an email (no attachments) to YoungWriters@Yoursphere.com
For all the fine-print legalese, head to www.yoursphere.com/youngwriters/rules
