This page will be updated as we learn of new opportunities. If you know of a writing or speaking contest, please let us know so we can include it on this page.
Please note: While IEW believes these contests to be legitimate, writing contest scams do exist, and it is wise to check into a contest carefully before entering, especially if there is a fee to enter.
