If you would like some extra points added to your essay grades, you can first edit you essay and then submit your essay to the contest whose guidelines you followed. See my previous post for links to the contests. You may cut down your essay to below 750 words or change it in any way as long as you follow the other rules of the contest (specifically in regards to topic and submission deadlines).
Note that most of the contests close on Monday the 6th, so you must submit before then.
Email me proof that you have submitted your paper, and I will give you bonus points. To send me proof, hit the print screen (“PrtScn”) button on your keyboard while you are looking at the page that shows you submitted to your paper to the contest. Then, paste that image in an email to me. Here is some information on using the print screen function.
This is not required. This is just for bonus points for me, and it also allows you the chance to win some money from the contest!
