Blog Writing Contest from FromMyExperience.com
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) January 27, 2008 -- Writing contests are found everywhere, but a writing contest with a soul can be uplifting, not only to the reader, but the writer as well.
"This contest isn't about winning a cash prize of $25, it is about being a part of something bigger than yourself and sharing something you have learned with the world," says Shell Harris of FromMyExperience.com. "FromMyExperience.com is trying to be a voice for those who want share something that changed them and may help others."
"FromMyExperience.com is similar to one of my favorite sites, PostSecret (http://postsecret.blogspot.com), which allows users to share their thoughts through post cards. We are providing a site that allows people to share experiences."
The blog writing contest is simple and full details can be found on the FromMyExperience.com website: http://www.frommyexperience.com/blog-writing-contest.
The judge is looking for something real that is a true life experience. It can be funny, sad, absurd, emotional and anything in between. It simply must be something the writer experienced themselves. Of course creativity will be rewarded and is expected, but all contributing authors will have their work published on the site. The site is family friendly and adult content will be edited or unused. Read current experiences on http://www.frommyexperience.com to get familiar with previous entries.
The winner will be announced by February 19, 2008, and notified by email. "If we are overwhelmed with entries, we may have to extend the deadline." The winner's writing will be shown on the site and noted as that month's winning article. The contest will run monthly.
Can you enter more than once? "You can enter as often as you like. Share to your heart's consent."
Experiences are best when shared.
