Free Contests

No byline appears on free writing contests on the Writing Stuff website, but I suspect the site's owner, Shelley Ann Wake, probably wrote the thought-provoking, Free Contests May Not Cost You Money, But They Can Still Cost You.

Very few contests are run only for the benefit of writers. But even if the organizer gets something out of it, it still should be fair to writers. Think about what the organizer is gaining and ask yourself if they're taking advantage of writers.
