3. Work of pornographic nature or containing racial hate is automatically disqualified.
4. Entries must be postmarked at least 5 days before the contest date
5. You may enter each contest as many times as you like but it must be a totally different work for each entry. You may win each division only once. For example: You may enter in the Writing Contest in Poetry and Short Story and win a place in each one but you can't enter two Short Stories and win both first and second place. You may enter the Poetry contest twice, you simply will not win for both works;however, entering twice increases your chance of winning since this is a limited entry contest you now have a 2 in 300 chance of winning rather than a 1 in 300 chance.
6. All entries should be original and unpublished.
