We are now seeking entries for Round 124 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest [4]. More than $981,000 worth of prizes have been awarded since we started running this contest. Round 123 ends on March 31st, so get busy writing and e-mail [5] us your entry. (We have room for one or two articles in Round 123, and any that arrive later will be posted in April.) 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. In 2023, we polled blog readers, asking for suggested article topics [6]. Please refer to that poll if you haven’t yet chosen an article topic.
