I'm on FastWeb, looking for teh free moniez to pay my way through DePaul. I come across two particularly promising ones:

The Illustrators of the Future Contest is open to artists from allnations. One entry is considered three black and white works illustrating a science fiction or fantasy story with no recurring theme. Your entry may not have been previously published. There are four quarterly deadlines each year (September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30). You may send an entry at anytime, however you can onlyhave one entry per quarter, your entry will be entered in the current quarter. Send photocopies only. Individual artists retain copyrights.Three prizes per quarter of $500 each and a yearly grand prize of $4000 are offered.

And...

The Writers of the Future Contest is open to amateur writers. Your entry must be a new short story or novelette with a science fiction, fantasy, horror or speculative fiction theme, that has not been previously published. Poetry and children's literature cannot be accepted for this contest. There are four quarterly deadlines each year (September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30) with three prizes per quarter of $1000, $750, $500 and a yearly grand prize of $4000 is offered.

Sounds awesome and completely relevant to my interests, right?

Except that both of those contests are sponsored by L. Ron Hubbard.

Yeah. Back to the searching board I go!
