Enter the Hallmark book contest, win $50

Congratulate a new graduate in your own creative words and you could win $50. Submit by June 24.


There are three categories for this contest. You can submit one piece of original writing per category for a total of three:

1. I Wish I’d Known (What I Know Now)
   Share a life lesson or piece of advice you didn't know (but wish you had) when you were younger.
2. The Best Advice I Ever Got
   Did someone or something inspire you along the way? Share the inspirational words or a story from the people who have made a difference in your life.
3. Between Us Girls
   As a woman, you know those special things it takes to make it in the world. Share some advice or inspiration that a woman needs to know to be successful, fulfilled, and happy.

A few things to keep in mind:

• You can be sincere, funny, or anything you like. Just remember, submissions cannot exceed 2,000 characters (including spaces).
• We do NOT want quotes from famous people.
  We want to hear your original words. Make sure your entries were created just for this contest;
  if they've been published anywhere before, we can’t accept them.
• Winning submissions will be compiled into a book.
• No illustrations or photos this time — only writing.

Winners will get $50 and 2 free books.
