<p>Does anyone know of any good/legitimate writing contests? I looked online, but it's hard to distinguish between the scams and the prestigious competitions. </p>
<p>So, good writing competitions (feel free to add on!) - also, specify the genre:
-Scholastic (all) (Alliance</a> for Young Artists & Writers)
-Kenyon Review (short fiction & poetry) (The</a> Kenyon Review ? The International Journal of Literature, Culture and the Arts)</p>
<p>Make an account here: [Winning</a> Writers - The Best Free Poetry Contests - Free Newsletter & Database](<a href=“http://www.winningwriters.com/contests/free/fr_login.php]Winning”>http://www.winningwriters.com/contests/free/fr_login.php)</p>
<p>It’s free and gives you a lot of free contests for poetry, short stories, and essays.</p>
