Sportingo Competition

Sportingo.com are currently holding a competition, where if you write an article between September 25 - Thursday October 1 and your article is chosen as the winning article in the tennis section (same applies for other sports), you win £50.

So far I haven't seen anyone submit any articles in the tennis section during this period, so unless if everyone writes all their articles at the last minute, I don't imagine that the participation would be exceptionally high. Anyone can write an article just by registering for free.

The word limit is between 400 to 600 words, which has always been a difficulty for me. Articles, as per normal procedure on that website are proofread and modified by the editors, and will take a while to show up.

The winning article is judged by four things: the number of views, the number of comments received, the thumbs up rating given and quality according to a panel of judges. Not my ideal way of judging definitely, so I've had to think about what topics would attract the most viewers, the most people to even open it up.
