This summer I have been working on developing a free, "Toss a Topic"-like contest which will host regular contests that matter to writers like you. When you win, your name and story appear in full-text on our website for the world (and your prospective publishers) to see! Regardless of whether you choose to write professionally or not, it's fun just to be able to say that you won a real contest, and you have the proof on our website!
What I'd like to ask of you is twofold: Would you be willing to help with the contest in any way, either by judging, providing prizes, or by entering articles? Do you have any ideas that could help make these contests more fun for writers and readers alike, as well as making them more helpful to put on your resume?
The site, which will be going online soon, will be located at www.creationcontest.org
You can already reach us at creationcontest@gmail.com.
Thank you for your input! I can't wait to see where God takes this.

Looks good, Locke! Perhaps I shall have the time to join in, depending. I think the closing quotation mark is in the box where it says "Test your skills" and then there's no closing quotation mark. Otherwise, looks good.
You're welcome to use the "Toss a topic" Name if you'd like, I don't mind.

Just two more entries are needed to hold our first Toss a Topic! Submit here.
Please submit your entry and tell your friends! The more entries we have, the more contests we can hold! If we get enough entries coming in, i'm planning on holding PAID contests in the future.
Thanks for your support!

750 words is HARD to cram a story into.
That is all.
Hehe.

I can't seem to access the site now (I did earlier, obviously, so not sure why)

I just checked it to make sure, the site is indeed up and running. It may have been down for maintenance when you checked. Let me know if the problem persists, but you should have no problem viewing the site now. Thanks!

Yes, both contests close on the 25th - however, if I don't have enough entries, I will extend the deadline. Please get your entry in ASAP though! I'm really encouraged by recent feedback.

Unfortunately, the response has been quite insufficient to declare a winner for TAT or finish Topical so we can go to the voting stage.
I've been rather surprised about that - i'd have thought there would be more interest. I guess we'll see how it goes as to whether or not I hold more in the future.
