Group-Sponsored Living the Rural Life Contest

Group-Sponsored Living the Rural Life Contest

Details

Deadline:Feb 28, 2013
Fee:Free

We're taking a step away from the noise and chaos of the cities and getting away for a bit for this contest. The Rural group wants to read your work on Living the Rural Life. In no more than 2000 words, you're to write a piece that expresses what rural life means to you (can be fiction or nonficition). Is it seeing the world from the back of a cow? Wandering the backwoods? Watching a misty sunrise over the prairie? Let them know!

The group has humbly requested that, for your piece to be considered in this contest, you join the group. They're a really nice bunch just looking to connect with other ruralites. For some more information on the contest, check out their discussion thread.
