Family Circle Writing Contest

I remember when most magazines carried short fiction, and this included Family Circle and Woman's Day, the "grocery store magazines". Although I entered the Family Circle Fiction 2009 Contest, I didn't win a thing. However, they have just started yet another contest for 2010. Since it doesn't close until September 2010, there is plenty of time to consider an entry; they even allow two entries per person. Here is the info or check out the site at http://www.familycircle.com/family-fun/crafts/2010-family-circle-fiction-contest-rules/.
