SurvivalBlog Writing Contest
Today we present guest article selected by JWR.
We are in need of entries for Round 109 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [1]. More than $850,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest. We recently polled blog readers, asking for suggested article topics [2]. Refer to that poll if you haven’t yet chosen an article topic. Round 109 ends on November 30th, so get busy writing and e-mail [3] us your entry. Remember that there is a 1,500-word minimum, and that articles on practical “how-to” skills for survival have an advantage in the judging.
