writing contest

So from now until August 31, I will be holding a contest in which I will select the very best writing coming into my email inbox. Points will be scored in the usual categories: quality, originality, word choice, etc., as well as some unusual categories like Outrageous Claims, Earnestness, Spelling/Word Confusion and Size of the Prize (e.g. promise me six inches, meh... but promise me fifteen inches, holy shiv!).

Send all submissions to cal@eugeneweekly.com

Again, the deadline is August 31, 2008.
