Contest Deadline Alert – mid MAY and JUNE

Picking up where I left off last month, a continued list of/reminders for upcoming writing related contests/programs/fellowships and their application deadlines.  Be sure to check their websites (links under CONTESTS AND STUFF on the right) for more specific information (some of the later June ones aren't even open to submission until the end of this month).  Once again, the WHAT is what you need to give each contest/program and the HOW is how you deliver it.  Time to get organized!
