Essay Contests Award Prizes for Prose - PrizeWriter.com Seeks “Write” Stuff

February 19, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
PrizeWriter.com hosts a collection of paid entry writing contests for prizes such as cars, boats, motorcycles, businesses, real estate, and more. The PrizeWriter website provides people from all walks of life the opportunity to win great prizes, and owners, builders, manufacturers, or retailers of approved property the ability to sell via an improved essay contest model with none of the associated hassle, expertise, or infrastructure. “It’s a win-win situation for everyone,” says PrizeWriter.com founder and spokesperson, Jared Marshall.

Popularized by the 1996 movie "The Spitfire Grill", these types of essay contests traditionally charge upfront entry fees to collectively cover the cost of awarding the Grand Prize. These entry fees are held along with the essays until judging begins or, in the event the contest is cancelled and was responsibly managed, some kind of refund is made. This term sometimes exceeds one year. However, PrizeWriter.com's unique online entry system allows participants to submit their essays immediately and pay nothing until judging actually begins, making it simply a matter of taking a spin around the “writer’s block” to secure a chance to win. When it does come time to get down to the business of deciding on the winner, you then pay the associated fee for each entry you previously submitted. Entries provided by postal mail will also be accepted, but an additional $5.00 fee will be applied once judging begins to help offset the additional processing costs. Participants are highly encouraged to enter online as they will not only save five dollars but, in some cases, doing so will give them a distinct time advantage since, in addition to a deadline, each contest only allows a limited number of entries.

Anyone who has ever looked at the back of a lottery ticket knows they have a better chance at being struck by lightning than winning the jackpot. As an investment, this type of expenditure just does not pencil out when taking the odds into consideration. A participant’s odds of winning an essay contest hosted at Prizewriter.com are much more optimistic and generally far less costly in the long run. Odds of winning a contest hosted by PrizeWriter.com typically range from one in five hundred to one in four thousand, as opposed to one in several hundred thousand or even one in several million. The prizes themselves have another distinct advantage over that elusive lottery cash jackpot. Beyond immediate equity, some provide an ongoing source of income for their fortunate winners, something that no lump sum lottery payment can boast.

PrizeWriter.com’s goal is to facilitate the sale of unique property or prize items while, more importantly, changing some lives for the better. We strive to create opportunities where anyone can become a real estate or business owner regardless of income or assets. While we sometimes award prizes that are just plain fun, our philosophy guides us to host contests for prizes that keep on giving long after they have been won.
