Free contests?
I am not posting news about a contest I was just wondering if anyone knew of a short story contest that was free.

 I wish.
I think a lot of writing competitions out there are just money making schemes that suck us poor writers dry. |

You may want to check out http://paris-eiffel-tower-news.com/paris-contest.html. They say you can win between EUR 150 and EUR 800 (EUR 800 is close to $900 US if memory serves me right...good enough for a little college boy like me). 
The topic is Paris, so if you haven't been there, find someone who has!  |

Writers of the Future is a well known contest, and does a lot of good work for writers and for the science fiction genre.
However, as with all contests (particularly ones with free entry), it's worth digging a bit to find out who is sponsoring it.
In this case, it's backed by the church of Scientology, which is an organisation that I know a lot of people have issues with. If you're one of those people, you may want to stand back from this one; otherwise go for it - it is a good, well known and free contest, so you can't really lose. |
