Spring Dogs from Death Row! Enter our Juried Writing Competition and Fundraiser to save dogs from a fate that is death. Your efforts will help infuse a sense of literacy back into American lives, save dogs from death row, get you published, and win you fantastic prizes! Sponsored by Wolfe Technologies, Inc., a Michigan based website design company, Write To Woof is a fun writing competition. The goal is to immerse ourselves in the wonder of writing what we love while raising money to rescue jailed shelter dogs from death row. How It Works: Choose a category that wags your tail and write about it. Each category allows a maximum of 12,000 words, or approximately eight pages of creativity. Your work will be judged in twelve categories: Title, Introduction, Organization, Spelling & Punctuation, Creativity, Setting, Action, Dialogue, Characters, Problem/Conflict, Solution/Resolution & Meeting Contest Requirements.
How To Win Prizes: Contest Grand Prize: The best overall submission, as determined by our panel of judges, will be awarded a special prize, be published in the Woofer's Blog, and be included in for publication in the Write To Woof Anthology. Category Prizes: The winning writer in each category will receive a special prize, and every writer will be published in our online Woofer's Blog, and be included for publication in the Write To Woof Anthology. Fund Raising Prizes: Each writer is encouraged to gain support for his or her writing efforts by asking friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers and local business owners to donate in their honor. The top fundraiser will win a distinctive prize. Honorable Mention Prizes: For those writers who have contributed a manuscript that is noted as extra special by our judges, honorable mention prizes will be awarded to acknowledge their accomplishment. Community Service Prizes: High School Students may enter to win prizes, and also collect up to two community service hours for each manuscript submitted.
Ten Writing Competition Categories:
By Popular Demand: Entry Deadline Extended to June 1, 2009!
Our contestants are lovingly called 'Woofers' and we encourage them to not only write the best possible manuscript that they can, but to also help us in raising funds to save innocent dogs' lives. Our Woofer's Blog will be available to see the entrants' work, and to celebrate the creativity that writing competitions can create. Our goal during this competition is to raise $10,000 to aid in the rescue of shelter dogs, while simultaneously converting hobby writers into published authors. A great cross-section of Americans are closet writers ... mechanics, computer geeks, out-of-work-actors, English teachers, coffee shop employees, UAW workers, students, grocery store baggers, retired grandparents, and other assorted 'regular folk'. This is your opportunity to let your muse run wild, and see your work in print! Wouldn't you like to be a Woofer, too? Join us in celebrating the eternal bond between a dog and their best friend ... YOU! Please investigate the rest of our website to learn more about how you can use your creativity to save precious lives.
I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. ~ Gilda Radner
