"Unconventional" Writing Content

[Greg]

Chris Guillebeau of The Art of Non-Conformity is running an essay writing content with some neat prizes (eg., upgrade to business class on your next flight). The theme is on being "unconventional".

I’m opening a new writing contest to feature the unconventional ideas of other great people from our community.

The winning entries will be published on the site for all to see, and naturally I’ve got some (other) great prizes as well.

You write a short essay of 500-1200 words describing an unconventional life topic of your choice. A panel of anonymous judges (I’m calling them the Supreme Court) will review the entries and select a short list of finalists for my review. I’ll choose the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. The winning essays will be posted on the site for all to see, and there will also be some great prizes.

BTW, check out Chris' blog for some great storytelling and idea-challenging. For example, I was recently highly entertained by this post about conversations.
