I just wanted to share some more writing contest information I received from Writer’s Market. 

THREE JUNE WRITING CONTESTS

WritersMarket.com lists more than 600 contests & awards. Here are three with June deadlines:

Annual Dream Grant is not a reward for past accomplishment, but rather an investment in potential; it is a “no-strings attached” award in support of writers’ dreams. Deadline is June 1. There’s a $20 processing fee, and the winner receives up to $800.

L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest is offered quarterly—with the next deadline as June 30—for unpublished speculative fiction. There is no entry fee, and the winners receive prizes of $1,000, $750, and $500 quarterly with a grand prize for the year of $5,000.

Margaret Reid Poetry Contest for Traditional Verse seeks poems in traditional verse forms, such as sonnets. Both published and unpublished work accepted. Deadline is June 30. There is a $7 reading fee for every 25 lines of poetry, and 1st through 4th place prizes of $3,000, $1,000, $400, $250.
