Contest & Drawing Details: March 2010

In order to be eligible to enter a given drawing, a writer will need to have published the required number of stories this month for a particular tier. It is therefore possible for one writer to be entered in all drawings and be eligible to win all prizes if that writer has written enough stories to qualify for each tier! (Please note: Not everyone will win a prize, though. All writers who qualify for a given tier will have their names placed in a hat; names will be drawn randomly for the prizes. Everybody's chances are really good!)
