After writing, re-writing, revising and re-revising, I sent my entry to the Guideposts Writers Workshop Contest this week. The 15 winners receive an all-expense trip to Rye, New York to attend the famous inspirational magazine’s 5-day workshop. Just thinking of it makes my heart race. I’m glad I don’t know how many total entries they expect!This contest requires a true story of how faith in God made a difference in your life. Because I chose a story of a dramatic spiritual turning point from my teen years, I wanted the writing perfect.
We shall see what the judges think. This contest offers no feedback, and they only notify the winners. So those who are eliminated may never know why. How do you feel about contests? Do you think the feedback is helpful, or do you find it too subjective to be of much use? Would you enter a contest that offered no feedback?
