You've compiled quite a few of these. I'm going to have to bookmark this and check some of these out since there are definitely a few I wasn't aware of. Thank you for sharing...and thank you, too, for your very kind comments on my photo.

Thrilled to hear that people are utilizing the list. Best of luck to everyone. AND be sure to toot your horn and let everyone know the good news.

By the way if you have an article with a contest, please email me the link so I can add it to the list.

Would have considered entering the poetry one in Dec but the 2 I would enter aren't eligible since I posted them here already.
