The Deadline Approaches!
We are trudging into August, the dog days of summer (and the fifth month of HHS! 2010), but things aren't slowing down around here at all. In fact, we ran the numbers to show you just how many contenders we've featured. Might you be next?
We sincerely hope that you're enjoying reading our contender posts as much as we all enjoy writing them. We've seen some fantastic work so far—and such breadth—and we can't wait to look at and write about what all of you send us in this final stretch. Remember, the competition ends on August 22nd so don't dally. Get those entries in!
Have a great rest of the week! Follow us on Twitter: @heyhotshot and Facebook for all the latest competition news.
