A friend on Facebook sent me a link to a writing contest that looks interesting. Called Young Writers for Adoption, the competition is open to youths who are adopted and/or their siblings.
The contest is broken down into age categories and involves cash prizes:
Four age divisions:

ages 19-21
Cash awards for winners in each age division:
1st place =$500
2nd place=$300
3rd place= $150
4th place=$50
Entries can be prose or poetry; submissions may be up to 500 words. The deadline is June 1, 2012. There is no fee to enter.

Good luck!
