Each contest may have its own rules, so please read the contest post thoroughly before entering.    

## Today’s featured contests

### @freewritehouse

The folks over at @freewritehouse run three contests each week. All of them are designed to encourage community engagement and highlight other's work. Besides the prizes from the @freewritehouse account, they are always interested in hearing from anyone who will sponsor a contest and so they can offer even bigger prizes.

![Favorite Freewrite](https://i.imgur.com/TsM3Zjmm.png)

**A Favorite Freewrite You Read** contest runs every Tuesday for just 24 hours. You need to read some freewrites written (you can read this post to see what they are), and then comment on the contest posts about which ones you liked best and why. If they choose your comment you win units of SBI.

![Favorite Freewrite Poem](https://i.imgur.com/BUVzHPym.png)

**Recommend your Favorite Freewrite Poem** is a poetry version of the Favorite Freewrite contest and it runs every Friday. Make a comment about a freewrite poem you loved and you could win SBI units. But be quick! When Friday is over, so is the contest - until the next week that is.
