I entered in a national poetry contest called Dimensions in Education Today, a National High School Poetry Contest sponsored by the Live Poets Society of New Jersey.
I am a regional winner, and now the organization wants to publish my poem in an anthology and is offering copies to me at "discount" prices. It claims that it has been running for 8 years, and I found the scholarship highlighted in a few, only a few, school newsletters. And it claims there is no purchase necessary to win.
My parents are scared that the organization is trying to make personal profit off of the poems of high schoolers.
Should I continue with the contest? If it is legitimate, how do you know, and what do I tell my parents?
The second application deadline is April 30, so please answer soon, and sincerely.
Here is the website:
It looks like a scam to me.
I don't have conclusive proof either way, but I have heard of similar things. I checked the Better Business Bureau and thehigh school poetry contesty hadn't heard of them.
A vanity press or vanity publisher is a book printer which, while claiming to be a publisher, charges writers a fee in return for publishing their books or otherwise makes most of its money from the author rather than from the public.
You might as well continue with the contest but DON'T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY.
check out the links
Actually, check out this website to avoid scams, and find a couple of legitimate writing/poetry scholarships.

i found it on the better business bureau (i was wondering the same because i entered the same contest, i wasn't chosen as a regional winner though, but they chose my poem to publish it apparently, but they say they need money if I would like to order a book. they would publish it for free i think)
here is where I found it, but there's no info about it:
high school poetry contest
I won 2 years in a row and they paid me.I even had personal conversations (by email) with Mr. Edwards, who founded the organization and is in charge there and never had any problem receiving an answer to my questions. The website has changed though www.highschoolpoetrycontest.co…
They ARE listed on the lifetips site noted above and the BBB has had them listed since 2001 and has no complaints. If they've been listed (not a member but listed) that long and no one's complained, it would stand to reason that they must be on the up and up. First hand experience says they are.
Hey, Emmy, did you ever find out if it was a scam or not because I applied to the same thing this year and they said I was Topical Winner for their "anthology".

free download photoshop cs3 extendedFree Photoshop CS3 Extended download???
Does anyone know where I can find a free download for PHOTOSHOP CS3?
Adobe.com is the only place. And that one is a 30 day trial...no limitations beyond the 30 day time limit though.
Photoshop is a very expensive program, the BEST you can hope for, legally and without risky infecting your computer with all kinds of viruses, is to get it as a student. Generally, you can get around a 60% discount as a student. Still, it will be an academic license and you will not be legally permitted to sell any work you create with it, or use it in any commercial fashion.
The people who design photoshop create some very elaborate algorithms to achieve what it does. They work very hard...trust me, if photoshop wasn't so expensive to create, it wouldn't be so expensive to buy (If they sold it for 100 bucks, everyone and their brother would buy a copy in a heartbeat).
Moral of the story: Downloading it for free isn't legal, and illegally downloading it is ripping off some very talented free download photoshop cs3 extendedhard-working people.
If you need something just to mess around with, GIMP is a free alternative to Photoshop that is more than most people need to create simple jobs. Remember, Photoshop is a professional program. It is way more than anyone needs who isn't either a graphic artist or a photographer by trade.
i wouldn't recommend using u torrent b/c its been spotted as a Trojan on my anti virus before
Yeah, this will probably be deleted, but I might as well answer it for now.
Go here:
http://rotteneggs.com/r3/show/se/273932.html
And read the instructions. It's what I use. Basically someone just took out the part of the installation that asks for a serial and uploaded it to RapidShare and MegaUpload.
There are free downloads of photoshop (and all other softwares too) on the bittorrent system.
Get a bittorrent client and install it. Go to http://www.zeropaid.com for good information on various bittorrent
clientsfree download photoshop cs3 extended and links to where you can download them.
Then go to http://thepiratebay.org and search there for what you want. There are other search sites too, but this
one has reliable files without viruses.
And we are "impressed" every time one of these "Planet" answers is deleted because it further shows the world how
the Americans try and bully everyone else...even to the extent of what they can download in their own countries.
stick to ps cs? no need to get the extra things. you wont use them anyways. noone uses them.
this is definatly gonna get delted.. because some jackass is gonna report it
hopefully you see this before it gets deelted
GO TO www.thepiratebay.org
and search
photoshop cs3
and download Utorrent if you dont have it
oncei ts done downloading right click on it and click open file
search portable at megadownload.net. or piratebay.org with utorrent
