My experiences with writing contests

Greetings, comic filmers! As you can probably see I love writing, so its just natural that I have enterted a couple of writing contests. I just got into writing in contests... like yesterday. I entered  two of the storyworks contests on the back of the magazine. "Storyworks" is a magazine with a bunch of stories and worksheets attached, but on the back og every issue there is a writing contest you can enter by simply emailing your paragraph (or essay) to whatever there gmail is. I I said earlier I have done two of them and I should one result back around late mid or late April and the other in like May or something. The prizes are very big over at storyworks ussualy just a "a random prize", a free book basede on the topic you wrote about, a shoutout in one of ther next mags, ect. No big cash prize or anything.  The contests are always about a story in the current magazine. For example, my latest one was about the  "Animal Superpowers" section in the issue. I had to write and two animal superpowers I want and why they would help me. If you like this sort of stuff you should check out Storyworks, but I`m pretty sure its just a school thing. Now about the real fat checks, writings contests were you get real MONEY if you win. I am trying to join a contest for 8-12 year olds were you get 300$ if you win. There are also 2 runner ups, who ALSO get money. Pretty good deal if you you ask me, thought there is a 15$ entry fee... Once I saw a contest that was a 0$ ebntry and the prize was... get this, 20,000$! It was crazy, probably fake thought. There you have ladies and gentlemen, my expeirences with writing contests!
