Just a few days left! We are in need of entries for Round 120 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [3]. More than $960,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest. Round 120 ends on September 30th, so get busy writing and e-mail [4] us your entry.

In 2023, we polled blog readers, asking for suggested article topics [5]. Please refer to that poll if you haven’t yet chosen an article topic.
