City Paper's Writing Contest!

The Philadelphia City Paper just announced its 22nd annual writing contest, and I can't believe I totally forgot to mention it here on this blog. (Because, like, I'm running the damned thing.) This year, we're looking for true stories under 2,500 words. The deadline is noon on December 10; the first place winner lands the cover slot for our January 3, 2008 issue. You'll find more details right here at the official contest web page. So have Ms. Wilkes prop you up in the chair and hand you a couple of painkillers. You need to get typing, you dirty, dirty birdies.
