Is it normal that they ask for a submission fee?

Hannelore, it depends on the contest. At least half of them do. I'm on a budget and stick to free contests only.

I would think the sites that don't ask for a fee are more credible. I don't want to have to pay for being allowed to submit a written piece of my own work. I think it's just a matter of principle. Still, I think it's wonderful that Dotsie calls our attention to such contests. I've read every one suggestion. Thanks so much!!!
