Field Report: Contest Deadline Reminder

I posted about this web community which offers awards for true, first person stories several weeks ago, here.

Well, I thought I would remind any who might have thought about it that the deadline for essay entries eligible for the Grand Prize of $250,000 is November 15, 2008. The prize is to be awarded January 5, 2008.

The best place to get started is the Quick Start page where they walk you through the easy steps. It isn't much harder than starting a blog.

Field Report has generated some press since it debuted last summer. Check out some of the buzz:

Guardian (UK)
Time Magazine
The Telegraph (UK)
The San Francisco Chronicle

I seriously considered participating but decided to keep my focus on my NaNoWriMo novel project and wait for the next round.

Speaking of NaNo. Can you believe it is only 26 hours away for Pacific Coast participants?
