Winner announced: August 1st!

Read the full contest rules for details. Also watch the contest schedule and enter each month.

Don’t forget to vote for the May writing contest entries.

NOTE: This schedule was revised on June 16. Since we didn’t have any entries and there was some confusion about voting and entering at the same time. If this confuses you please ask in the comments and we’ll make sure it is clear. Basically, we are going to have an entry period each month during the 1st through 15th. Voting will happen during the 16th through the 30th of each month (except February of course). This June/July contest is extra long to adjust the schedule for the new submission and voting periods.
