The Bridport Prize - Annual Competition

Kerri-Emmitt

Hi Folks.

I'm just curious really. In England with have this national award, a very well known one called The BridPort Prize. You whom live in America probably have a similar thing, if not, here's their website so you can see what I mean. http://www.bridpo.../index.htm

Anyway, would any of you enter it - or a similar thing? Do you feel it would be worth it and if you have entered competitions like this before, I would be very interested to know how you did.

Also, how many among you write columns for newspapers/mags etc or short stories? If there are some of you on here that do this type of work, what sort of success have you had? Do you enjoy it? etc.

Thanks

Give it a try, Kerri. I submit some articles, about one every other week, to AOL. Sometimes they are accepted, sometimes they are not. If they are accepted, they get published and I get the princely sum of US $50.

It's just fun.

Okay, two of us have taken a stab at james posting, 'A Hero As Lover.' Any other takers?

Its okay, Don. Someone has to put them there. I gain solace from the fact I can blame someone. To whom does your finger point, my mentor of mirth?

Oh, great, Verm, putting an idea in Rob's head.
