IF I RULED THE WORLD ESSAY CONTEST
In 1,000 words or less, tell the contest judges what you hate about the world – what bothers you or ticks you off, and how you’d fix it if you were running things. Open to anybody who enjoys writing. Essays should be persuasive – they should develop an idea, topic or argument and try to convince readers to accept an idea. Essays should be well-organized, and if necessary, give evidence, examples, and logical arguments; but they should not be boring! Essays should be no more than 1,000 words. The top essays will be featured on this site, and receive a free critical review. Deadline is February 1, 2010. Winner receives $100 via PayPal.
NOTE: Paper Perfect Editing is sponsoring this competition, probably to entice you to use their editing services. But that's no problem. There's no entry fee for this contest, and who couldn't use $100? This sounds like they wish to read true essays, so brush off those skills and tell them what you really think about running the world your way.
DOUBLE NOTE: Gosh, is that tax preparation I see on the horizon? Egads, please don't tell me it's so.
