For those who are interested, Random House/Delacourt is having a YA Writing contest where the grand prize is publication.

Just passing the word. Please read submission requirements closely. From what I can tell, the submitted MS cannot be submitted to agents or publishers among other requirements.

Curious how there are no prize winners in 2007 and 2008. Did they not hold the contest, or did they think there wasn't an entry good enough to win the grand prize?

They don't always pick a winner.  sad  I entered this contest last year.  It could be an awesome opportunity for someone but it does tie your MS up for quite a while. However there is always that chance...

thanks for posting this, JRo.  Seems like they're looking more for MG than YA though.

I entered this last year and didn't win.  I wanted to enter again this year, but an agent had my MS exclusively since April 2010, so I couldn't.  Then she rejected me this week saying she's already filled her YA quota...so I could have entered after all.  *sigh*  Always next year.
