Political writing contest awarding four $250 prizes each month...
I know there are a lot of people here with strong opinions about politics, so I wanted to let you all know about The American Pundit (http://www.allvoices.com/americanpundit). It's a political writing contest sponsored by San Francisco-based Allvoices.com.
The American Pundit awards four $250 prizes each month, and will be awarding a $5,000 grand prize in December. It will also award a $1,000 runner-up prize and a $250 honorable mention prize.
Allvoices posts a "writing assignment" on the 1st and 16th of each month, with two of the four winners in a given month selected from on-topic submissions. Writers can submit general topic reports/columns as well, with two winners being selected from that category each month, too.
The current writing assignment runs through May 15:
In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, how can government effectively battle terrorist threats while simultaneously ensuring that citizens maintain their constitutionally guaranteed rights and liberties?
In the interest of full disclosure, I will tell you that I serve as contest administrator. We'd love to see fresh voices contributing to the debate, so if you or anyone you know is interested, you can learn more by visiting this link:
