The disadvantages of submitting work to these contests? Well, the average entry fee is around $35, so many of us would have to pick and choose which ones we wanted to enter; otherwise, any prize money that we might receive could easily be consumed beforehand entering the contests. (It's like buying a lottery ticket for $2 and then winning $2 and saying, "Oh, I won $2." No, actually, you just broke even.)
The advantages? You might win. If you do enter, you might win. If you don't enter, you won't win. What did Wayne Gretzky say?: "You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take." Even if you don't win, the experience of entering might be good for you.
Yikes! Look at all those deadlines coming up fast! Let's do it!
