Each quarter of the year Derrick Hayes sponsors an Essay Contest with a different topic. The entry dates for the 3rd Quarter Essay Contest will be September 20th through September 30th, 2010 and the winner will be notified by October 15th, 2010.
The winning essay writer will be highlighted on this page with a brief bio and their winning entry.
Each essay must be 50 words or less. Each contestant wanting to enter will post their entry in the box below. Once the entry is checked for word count and obscene language it will be posted for the judges to review.
3rd Quarter Essay Contest Topic:
How does it make you feel when someone says You Can Do It?
After you write your 50 words and copy them into a file for yourself you can also:
-Write it as an extended article that can be published in newspapers or magazines
-Record the entry as a MP3 download that you can sell
-Write some more posts until you have enough for a book
The purpose of this contest is to get people inspired and motivated to write. If you can put one word after another you will go from writing sentences to stories and from stories to novels.
Enter the contest by going to http://derrickhayes.com/essay-contest/ and also include a contact email where you can be notified. There is also an area that can link to your website so you can promote your work.
