I received an email from Rope and Wire's editor, Scott Gese, asking if I'd plug the contest on his site. Now, it's been a while since I dropped by Rope and Wire but it's a site well worth the time.
There's all kinds of good stuff for our Western buffs here. They have short stories from both published authors and newbies, going so far as to have a place called the Bullpen so that newbies can get feedback on their Western writing. And they're open for submissions (non-paying) for shorts, poetry, humor, reviews, non-fiction, yeah, pretty much anything Western. Besides the writing, there's a page with recipes, another with old time radio shows, movie reviews and much more. http://www.ropeandwire.com
And now for the contest. They're looking for short stories of 2500 to 4000 words with a November 30 deadline. There is a $15 fee to enter but $10 of every entry fee goes towards the prizes. First prize receives $5 of every entry fee, second $3 and third $2. There is an online entry form to submit your stories, both for the contest and regular submissions. You can find all the contest details at http://www.ropeandwire.com/MainPages/2010Contest/Introduction.html
Head on over, have a look around and enjoy a bit of the Old West.
