We are in need of articles for Round 107 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [6]. More than $825,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest. We recently polled blog readers, asking for suggested article topics [7]. Refer to that poll if you haven’t yet chosen an article topic. Round 107 ends on July 31st, so get busy writing and e-mail [8] us your entry.
