Mother's Day Pamphlet Contest

Dear Authors,

You may remember the Christmas pamphlet contest that we held about a year ago. Now we are coming to you with another contest, this time, for Mother’s Day. We want to give one of you the opportunity to publish a short story in a 16-page pamphlet/greeting card form for Mother’s Day 2011. A winner will be announced by November 24, 2010. This contest is open to everyone so feel free to pass this information on to others. Good luck!

Pamphlet Submission Information:

A 16-page pamphlet can range from 1,000-20,000 words. It can be a poem, a short story, or a compilation of short stories. It can be serious or funny, and should appeal to mothers in any stage of motherhood. It should comply with LDS standards as far as content is concerned.

How to enter:

Send in your submissions by 5pm Friday, November 12, 2010, to the submissions email: submissions@cedarfort.com. Write: MOTHER’S DAY CONTEST in the subject line.

Attach a word document to the email. (Please do not include your submission in the body of the email.)

The word document should include your full name, address, phone number, and email address.

Prize:

The winner of the contest will receive $100 and will be paid a 10% royalty on all gross profits of the pamphlet sales. The pamphlet will be published and released in March 2011.
