<p>Does anyone have a list or know of any writing competitions which I could send work to? (Essays, memoirs, poetry)</p>
<p>Also, I'm thinking of assembling a writing portfolio... any suggestions-admonitions?</p>
<p>I second that…I’d like to send in some litcrit essays and creative pieces…</p>

<p>I believe Princeton has a poetry contest too.</p>
<p>Is getting published in one of these worth writing on a university app? I sorta doubt it, but I like writing so I might try it if it is worthwhile.</p>
