Entrant beware, though -- the entrance fees for some of the categories are not insubstantial.

(For comparison, the SCBWI refuses to promote "contests" that charge entrance fees because some of them are nothing more than money-making operations. I'm not saying that's necessarily the case with this one, but as always, read the fine print.)
