Thanks to all the writers who made submissions into the April Writing Contest.  Voting for the April Contest will continue until midnight 5/7/07 so go ahead and get your votes in.  Here is a list of all stories eligible for the April contest.

That said, it's a brand new month so flex those fingers and get cracking on your next column.  The May writing contest is underway.  All columns published during the month of May will be eligible and the voting for the May contest ends 6/7/07. See below for prizes and details.

• The Contest begins on the 1st of every month and ends on the last day of that month. (e.g. May 1st to May 31st). Each month represents a separate "contest".

• Every published story on the site during the month of the contest is eligible, except for Journal Entries.  So for the April Contest, any article published between 5/1/07 and 5/31/07 is eligible.  There is no limit to the number of articles you have in the contest.
  
• In order to give articles that are published the last week of the month a fair shake, the voting for the month doesn't end until the 7th day of the following month.  (e.g. voting for the May Contest ends on June 7th)
  
• No writer may win the contest 2 months in a row.
• By entering the contest, you agree that the management of Sportscolumn.com has final say in all matters related to the contest.  You also warrant that any article submitted by you is your own original work.  Any article that violates the copyright of another person or company is ineligible and contest entry will be voided.  In addition, any attempts to manipulate the contest will result in a voided entry.
  

May Contest Prizes

• First Prize: $100 Gift Certificate to Amazon.  
  
• Second Prize: $25 Gift Certificate to Amazon
  
• Third Prize: Copy of John Daly's My Life In & Out of the Rough
