We need more entries for Round 122 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [1]. More than $978,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest. Round 122 ends on January 31st, so get busy writing and e-mail [2] us your entry.

In 2023, we polled blog readers, asking for suggested article topics [3]. Please refer to that poll if you haven’t yet chosen an article topic.
