Are You the Newest Great Writer?





WRITE AND WIN 250,000$$
This is no time to be shy...If you got it flaunt it. It's time to cash in on those stories you've been saving for the grandkids, or when the statute of limitations ran out on your crimes, which ever's first. This is a legit site and the most astronomical prize for writing I have ever seen.
I think I might have a few to throw in the ring. Don't you?? I dare ya! I double-dog dare ya!

(Excerpted from Market Watch) San Francisco startup, FieldReport.com, is launching the web's largest writing contest with a $250,000 grand prize for the best short true-life story.
FieldReport.com is a new online community where storytellers compete for cash prizes awarded by the site's membership. In addition to the grand prize to be awarded on December 1, 2008, writers compete for 20 monthly prizes in categories as diverse as Brush with Fame, Animal Beings, and 36 Hours. Teen writers vie for the annual TeenReport $25,000 scholarship award.
"Everyone has a story to tell, and anyone can win," says FieldReport's CEO, William Petty. "FieldReport brings its members together over the most entertaining and meaningful content imaginable -- the true stories of their own lives."

Unlike American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, FieldReport has no professional judges. FieldReport's unique software system enables anyone to participate as writer, reviewer or both. FieldReport's patent-pending Objective Community Ranking Engine combines a blind review process with an innovative rating system -- a significant departure from the simple voting systems used by other websites. The goal is to give every submission a fair shake by eliminating the popularity factor that skews rankings on other sites.

FieldReport was created by a group of San Franciscans who believe that, even within our new blogging culture, there are literally thousands of great writers who have yet to be discovered. FieldReport gives them a platform, while offering readers a great experience of true-life storytelling.
What do you think? You gonna at least try it?
