Contest Brief

Write an entertaining, attention-grabbing "Top 10" list-- minimum of 1,500 words.

The ideal list is something offbeat, looking at something normal in an unexpected way, hidden knowledge, misconceptions, little-known facts, or really good general knowledge about an interesting topic.

Submissions that have the greatest chance of being selected cover topics like: mysteries, evil characters, secrets, historical myths or common misconceptions, and entertaining historical lists (like Top 10 people who were burned at the state and lived).

Here are some examples of excellent lists:
Top 10 Gruesome Fairy Tale Origins . . . http://bit.ly/10G9NOK
Top 10 Evil Serial Killers . . . http://bit.ly/Vcsvrl
Top 10 Hidden Images in Cartoons . . . http://bit.ly/10G9Ud8
Top 10 Codes You aren’t Meant to Know . . . http://bit.ly/10G9YtF
Top 10 Strange Things About the Universe . . . http://bit.ly/VcsGTi
Top 10 Creepy Mysteries You Haven’t Heard Of . . . http://bit.ly/10Ga9oA
Top 10 Evil Human Experiments . . . http://bit.ly/10GaasR
Top 10 Terrifying Places on Earth . . . http://bit.ly/YmFUAV
Top 10 Places You Can’t Go . . . http://bit.ly/10Gajwc
Top 10 Conspiracy Theories . . . http://bit.ly/10GanfE

Here are the RULES:

(1) Your list should not contain any entries from lists already found on http://listverse.com/ unless it is given a completely different light and context.

(2) Sources:
* The following sources are accepted: reputable news organizations, academic publications, and books.
* The following sources are prohibited: Daily Mail, National Enquirer, The Sun, Mirror, Metro, NY Post, Examiner, About.com, suite101, angelfire, Ranker.

(3) Format:
* When you provide a link to the cite of the source, simply put it in brackets, number it, and then provide the link at the very end. For example:
"Every news outlet was full of breathless analysis and maps (LINK 7). Analysis confirms that Pyongyang has yet to build a bomb small enough to fit on a missile (LINK 8)."
....
LINK 7: http://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2013/04/world/north­korea­missile­capabilities/
LINK 8: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world­asia­pacific­11813699

Remember that ideas of Top Ten lists will not be considered. The submission must be fully completed as a Top Ten list that exceeds 1,500 words.

Thank you and good luck!

    Hi matmuldr, I think some people would consider $10 for writing 1500 words MINIMUM a rather modest prize. Freelancer automatically deducts $5 dollars for a winning entry so the freelancer is getting only $5. Maybe you should consider raising the award money: more money means more interest, which means you get better results.
