Are you a good writer, with excellent grammar, curiosity, and experience writing news or feature stories for your school paper? Or, have you taken classes to learn to write news and features, and you're ready to be published?

To earn a prize like this, you would need to contribute an original article or story to PeprallyUSA.com. You would be required to obtain approval on your story subject and idea outline prior to writing each one. Before becoming a contributor, you must register. To register, send by US mail a typed application letter which must include your name, date of birth, mailing address, and phone number, an active email address (which is NOT at AOL) school name, and a description of your experience along with a list of journalism or writing courses you've taken, and some writing samples. If you are over 18 years old, you must be a registered voter to apply, and your letter must state in which county and state you are registered to vote.

If you are NOT over 18 years old, your custodial parent must be registered to vote, and your application must list the name of the custodial parent, and the county and state in which he or she is registered to vote.
