I know it appears to have a bit of a steep entry fee ($20 for Canadian residents and $25 for international)
They have three paying places

$500.00 for first
$250.00 for second
$25 for honorable mention

Good luck]]> References Thu, 03 Sep 2009 02:49:42 GMT http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/references-f4/contest-t1494.htm#26676 http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/references-f4/contest-t1494.htm http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/references-f4/free-pdf-issue-of-gud-magazine-first-to-reply-t1457.htm angelinity
