THE "PULITZER PRIZE" OF ZINES
First-Ever Writer's Digest National Zine Publishing Awards Contest Announced
Writer's Digest magazine announces the
first-ever WRITER'S DIGEST NATIONAL ZINE PUBLISHING AWARDS. Writers are
encouraged to enter any Zine or E-Zine in one or more of 10 possible
categories. Entries must be a self-published magazine, distributed at least

rules and an entry form can be found at the publisher's website,
www.writersdigest.com/zineawards. Deadline for all entries is November 25th,
2000.
"When it comes to zines, the topics at hand, the rules at work and the
styles at play are all subject to the minds of their creators," says Katie
DuMont, Associate Editor for Writer's Digest. "Writing 'Zine Scene' each
month for the magazine, I have had the pleasure of reading the work of many
talented writers expressing their passions for subjects ranging from the
peculiar to the practical to the literary. This contest is a great way to
showcase zinesters, and award their efforts."
One Grand-Prize Winner will be awarded $500 cash, a subscription to any one
of the publisher's magazines and promotion on the pages of Writer's Digest.
Other prizes range from $50 gift certificates toward the purchase of any F&W
books, to magazine subscriptions and promotion--both in print and
online--for the winning Zines.
The contest will be judged by the editors of Writer's Digest as well as the
'Zine Scene' editorial board. Winners will be notified on or before February
25th, 2001. Categories include; Literary/ Poetry, Fantasy/Horror, Science
Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Informational (travel, obscure news, general
interest), Best Art/ Design, Fanzine, Hobby/ Enthusiast (collectors, devoted
