<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peter T Davis, post: 411996, member: 1&quot;]Hi Everyone,</p><p>I&#039;d like to kick off the first Coin Talk writing contest.&nbsp; To encourage people to put their knowledge to paper, and get recognition for their accomplishments, I&#039;m opening up the first writing contest.&nbsp; Each round, I&#039;m going to put up a suggested main topic, and also accept entries from any other numismatic topic in the general category.&nbsp; The main prize will be related to the main topic.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first topic will be Tokens and the main prize will be the Standard Catalog of U.S. Tokens 1700-1900.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first round is open to submissions until September 6th.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A few simple rules:</p><p>1. Submit an article of between 1,000 and 2,000 words prior to the end of the day on the deadline.</p><p>2. All work must be your original writing, and research.&nbsp; Any collaboration or work otherwise borrowed must be attributed and permission must be given by the owner of the work, but the core research must be original.</p><p>3. Any photographs or illustrations must be original copyright by the author, or you must obtain permission from the original copyright owner to include it in the article.</p><p>4. While you will retain the original copyright for your work, you will assign to Coin Talk the right to publish your work along with the other articles submitted.&nbsp; Coin Talk will give full attribution to the article creators.</p><p>5. There will be two winners, one for the main topic, and one for general submissions.&nbsp; The winner of the main topic will win the main prize.&nbsp; There must be at least one submission to the main topic for the main prize to be awarded.&nbsp; </p><p>6. This contest is open to all members of Coin Talk, there are no restrictions for age, citizenship, or anything else.&nbsp; Submissions should be in English, however, and may be edited for spelling and grammatical errors.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is my first try at this guys, and I&#039;m really hoping to stimulate some great research and writing and give everyone the opportunity to really show off their stuff.&nbsp; I&#039;m also open to suggestions on how to run the contest, and especially for the main topic for future rounds.&nbsp; Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
