Wow, I just heard about another book festival competition:

This one is the "2013 Great Southeast Book Festival," with competition honoring the best books of the late winter/spring season.

They will consider published and unpublished works in
* fiction,
* non-fiction,
* biography/autobiography,
* how-to,
* compilations/anthologies,
* photography/art,
* children’s,
* cookbooks,
* poetry,
* spiritual,
* young adult,
* business/technology,
* unpublished manuscripts,
* nature/animals
* regional lit and
* wild card (anything goes!)

Pretty much covers everything it appears to me.

There is no date of publication restriction, but all entries must be in English.


Grand prize is $1500 cash and a flight to the awards ceremony in New Orleans, to be held in March, 2013.

Submitted works will be judged by a panel using the following criteria:
1) General excellence and the author's passion for telling a good story.
2) The potential of the work to reach a wider audience.
For more information, visit this link.

So now you have twice as many reasons to get that manuscript finished!

Good luck!
