Thanksgiving

On Thursday, November 28, the United States celebrate Thanksgiving Day. 

Do you live in America and have a special, sad, funny, or contemplative Thanksgiving story to tell? Are you a non-American having experienced a memorable all-American Thanksgiving? Have you ever celebrated Thanksgiving in a foreign country? Is there anything you have always wanted to say about Thanksgiving? Do you like the holiday--or do you hate it?

Seven Seas invites you to write a personal essay on "all things Thanksgiving" and submit it to the very first Seven Seas Personal Essay Contest! 

Please remember: I am looking for true stories, not a list of things saying why and for what you are thankful (even though this can certainly be included in your essay!)

Deadline: November 11, 2002.

The winning essay will be published in the November 15th issue of Seven Seas Magazine. Good submissions will find their way into one of the next regular issues.

Prize (Yes, there is one!): 

Aside from getting his or her own little nook for the winning essay in the November 15th issue, the winner receives $ 30.00 - paid via PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account (or do not want to get one), I am afraid you won't be able to participate. But--signing up with PayPal is free and easy at http://www.paypal.com 

Entry fee:  $ 4.00 per entry

This entry fee only applies to contest submissions! If you submit your essay to be included in a regular issue without wanting to participate in the contest, submitting is, of course (and as always!), free of charge. If you, however, submit a Thanksgiving essay without an entry fee, it cannot be considered as a contest entry.

Please pay here via PayPal...
