Round 65 of the SurvivalBlog Writing Contest is currently underway. This is your opportunity to wrap up your article and get it submitted to the editors of SurvivalBlog for inclusion into the contest. Here are a couple of reminders about the “rules”:

  1. You can only be awarded on of the top three prizes once per year. That means if you already won and it has been longer than a year, you can enter the contest again. Those who won “Honorable Mention” are still eligible at any time. In fact, you can win more than one Honorable Mention at a time. Round 64 had one author who entered two excellent articles and won Honorable Mention prizes for both of them, and he is still eligible for the top three prizes at any time (in the current contest round, and beyond.
  2. If you are worried about OPSEC, you can write under a pseudonym.
  3. Articles that focus on practical skills or instruction that is applicable to TEOTWAWKI get special judging consideration.
