So, You Think You Can Write? Win $750 for 750 words!!!
Menzies House is excited to announce our newest competition: $750 for 750 words!
That's right, we are offering a prize of $750 for what we deem the best blog post written by a young centre-right Australian that is submitted to us in the next two months. But wait, there's more! In addition to this, we will also be awarding a $250 prize for a People's Choice award for the best submission - voted upon by you, our readers!
Unlike other writing contests that require essays of many thousands of words, and have specific questions to address, our contest is simple and easy. Just write us a post on something that is topical and/or interests you, and, if yours is the best, you'll win! And even if you don't win, you may still receive an Honourable Mention prizes!
This is a great opportunity for all centre-right young Australians, and we strongly encourage you all to enter! Many times!
We would also like to specifically thank all of our donors and advertisers (in particular Candelori's Ristorante and Bar and ANDIKA Financial Services) for making this possible.
The Rules:
1)You must be under the age of 30 to enter.
2)You must be either an Australian Citizen or currently residing in Australia.
3)Submissions must be received by 5:00pm AEST July 31. Winners will be announced Monday August 8.
4)Submissions must be broadly compatible with and relevant to the conservative-libertarian fusionist/centre-right beliefs of Menzies House, namely small government, individual freedoms and free markets.
5)If the submission is deemed suitible for publication, Menzies House shall publish it at a time deemed appropriate - specifically, we will be publishing pieces as they are submitted, we shall not be waiting until after the competition is closed.
6)The winner of the Editor's Choice award is ineligible for the People's Choice Award. If the winner of the People's Choice award is the same as the winner of the Editor's Choice award, then the prize shall go to the runner up.
7)No prizes shall be awarded if fewer than 30 persons enter the contest
8)Submissions must be sent exclusively to Menzies House, and may not be republished in any form without the prior consent of Menzies House.
9)Persons may enter the competition up to a maximum of 10 times.
10)Menzies House reserves the right to not award the prize if no submission is deemed worthy, and also to modify the terms of the competition if deemed necessary.
