Free Writing Contests by acmesuccess: 5:39pm On Jun 12, 2015
Good day,

If you are a writer of fiction, non fiction, poetry etc of any genre, and you are certain you can make a mark and cart away the prize money, then, there is an opportunity for your to enter into any of this contests below.

I have narrows the list to dew ones which are are opened now and expected to end by July.

1. L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest

This is an opportunity for new and amateur writers of new short stories or novelettes of science fiction or fantasy. No entry fee is required. Entrants retain all publication rights. All awards are adjudicated by professional writers only. Prizes every three months: $1,000, $750, $500, Annual Grand Prize: $5,000 additional!


2. SLF Diverse Writers and Diverse Worlds Grants

The SLF offers two new diversity-centered grants: Diverse Writers and Diverse Worlds, both intended to foster the creation of speculative fiction work rich in diversity.
The $500 Diverse Writers grant is intended to support new and emerging writers from underrepresented and underprivileged groups, such as writers of color, women, queer writers, disabled writers, working-class writers, etc. -- those whose marginalized identities may present additional obstacles in the writing / publishing process.
The $500 Diverse Worlds grant is intended for work that best presents a diverse world, regardless of the writer’s background.


3. The Eleanor Taylor Bland Crime Fiction Writers of Color Award

This is an annual grant of $1,500 for an emerging writer of color. An unpublished writer is said to be preferred, although, one published work will not disqualify an entrant. This grant is intended to support the recipient in activities related to crime fiction writing and career development. She or he may choose from activities that include workshops, seminars, conferences, and retreats; online courses; and research activities required for completion of the work.


4. THE WINTER TANGERINE AWARDS

As a quote on their website: We aim to honor new and emerging poets and prose writers who are creating electric work. Submissions will only be accepted from writers who have not yet published a novel or collection of any type. We aim to showcase writers based on the merit of their work, rather than the prestige behind their name, so submissions will be read entirely blind.

So, this is an opportunity for your work to speak for you.
