This post describes how to submit your articles for the 2006 Articles Contest.
a) The articles for the 2006 Articles Contest need to be actually submitted to us - you can't link because we need a SUBMISSION that can be logged and your link might wind up unintentionally "published" if a search engine spider gets hold of it
b) Entrants should include the following statement in their submission
"The attached article is an original work by its authors (List names of all author(s).) This work has not been published in any form prior to entry in the bonsaiTALK Articles Contest. We, the authors, have read and understand the contest rules, and permit bonsaiTALK, or its designees, to edit and to publish this article in any form for any purpose."
SUBMITTING ARTICLES - 2 Options
A) The best alternative is to edit your article in your favorite word processing program / editor and email them to
articles2006@bonsaiTALK.com
You can use Word, or another application that can produce a text, Word, or HTML file. (Acrobat & Pagemaker stuff isn't ideal unless you can publish to HTML otherwise it will become a bit of a headache.) You should get an acknowledgement of your submission within 48 hours. If you don't, then PM Joanie.
B) Alternatively and I really don't recommend this - You can post short articles by starting a
new thread here in the
2006 Articles Contest forum. They should go to moderation and won't appear immediately. Consequently you would not be able to edit them after entering them, so submissions by email are strongly recommended. If you were to post in the wrong forum, or start a new post instead of a
new thread your entry would be visible to everyone, you'd be published, you'd have broken the rules, and you'd lose. So why chance it just email the article!
Thanks for your patience in getting this set up.
Regards,
Matt
------------------------REMINDER ADDITION-----------------------
Here's a reminder when you mail your articles, please include
1. the release statement from step b) above with your 'real' name.
2. your forum user name
3. if you're in the running for a prize, include your mailing address. This step is optional, but it sure speeds things up having everything in one place.
