Announcing the AnimeFEST 2006 Fanfiction Contest.  The AnimeFEST Fanfic 
Contest exists to bring recognition and appreciation to talented anime 
fanfic authors.

Complete contest rules and writing guidelines can be found here: 
http://www.akane.org/animefest

AnimeFEST 2006 is Labor Day Weekend, Fri Sept 1st - Mon Sept 4th at the 
Hyatt Regency Dallas Reunion Tower in Dallas, Texas.  The official AnimeFEST 
website is here:  http://www.animefest.org/

Authors may submit up to five stories.  Prizes will be given for Best 
Overall, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, and Honorable Mention.

Each winning author will receive a complementary AnimeFEST membership, a 
t-shirt, and an engraved acrylic award. In addition, we are currently 
seeking prize donations from the anime industry and specific prizes will be 
announced before or during the award ceremony.

Winners will be notified at least 21 days before the convention. If winners 
are unable to attend, they must make arrangements for a representative to 
accept awards on their behalf.

The winning entries will be displayed at a special awards ceremony, where 
the author or representative will have the opportunity to read their work in 
front of an audience. (For those with stage fright or for those who are 
unable to attend, AnimeFEST! volunteers will be available to do the 
reading.)

The winning entries will be also published in the program book.

Entries must be under 4,000 words long.  Entries must also not have been 
posted for general reading on the Internet before September 15, 2005. These 
includes fanfics that have been posted to personal web sites, archives, or 
mailing lists.

Deadline for entries is July 31st, 2006.  Submissions must be emailed to 
kperry@animefest.org or fanfic@animefest.org as a .txt file or an MSWord 
document.

For those who choose to participate, good luck, and I hope to see you  at 
the convention.  ^_^
