successes with us.

The theme of the challenge is spring. The
poetry contest is open to all active Today's Woman members. Today's Woman's
moderators are not eligible. Submissions may be published or unpublished, but
must be written on the topic of Spring. First price winner will receive a copy
of Writer's Market 2006. 2nd place winner will receive a two month upgrade to
premium membership. Please submit your poem through regular submission to the
category contest with
“Spring Contest” in the title line along with the title of your poem. Contest
will close April 30th. Winner will be announced May 6th. Have fun and the best
of luck. Please note that you must live in Canada or the US for free shipping of
the book. If you live out side of Canada and the US and would like to still

book.
Upcoming Contest
