The 2006 Literature Contest
By: Michael Browne
 Dirt Rag's Literature Contest is a celebration of the written word. It’s our annual effort to recognize and reward writers who possess the ability to deliver fine prose with a cycling bent and a unique narrative style. The only requirements are that your entry must be (1) cycling themed and (2) no more than 3,000 words, though that limit is not a quota.
Since we’re looking for the best writing, we’re offering prizes to match: beautifully handcrafted titanium frames courtesy of Moots. Two winners will be chosen, first place and runner-up. Winners will be published in Dirt Rag issue #124 or #125.
Rules
- Entries must include a reference to cycling, preferably mountain biking.
- Entries must be original and previously unpublished.
- Judges’ decisions are final.
- Plagiarism is a crime. Do not plagiarize.
- One entry per person. No more.
- Word count limit is 3,000 words.
- Mail-in entries only.
Entry Guidelines
- Include one cover page with title and contact information. Do not place contact information anywhere on the article itself.
- Entries will not be returned.
- All entries must be postmarked by June 1, 2006.
- Send to: Dirt Rag Literature Contest, 3483 Saxonburg Blvd, Pittsburgh, PA 15238.
