Prizes for Writers: September 21, 2009

Short list this week due to some technical difficulties!

It’s time for this week’s edition of prizes for writers. There are some great contests to enter this week, so check them out.

If you entered all of the contests last week, the old listings are marked with an asterisk so you can avoid entering them again.

Just to be clear, you can’t enter any of these contests here (unless otherwise specified). You have to visit the blog sponsoring the contest or giveaway and follow their directions. I’ve screened out anything that is a sweepstakes with millions of entries or looks like a scam, but if you come across something that just doesn’t look right, let me know!

Got a contest of your own? Email me, and I’ll post it here if it relates to freelancers (I’ll be the final judge of that!).

And now, on to this week’s prizes:
