Need some help getting started? Ask relatives to tell you about the funniest, most amazing, or interesting thing that ever happened to someone in your family. You may be surprised by what you learn.

Make sure to follow ALL the rules for submitting your work. 
In every contest we have to disqualify a number of very good entries because the writer didn't follow the rules for submitting his or her work. Don't let that happen to you.
