I figured it might be neat to have a topic where we can discuss our success, or failures, with submitting to writing contests that you learned about.
In my case, I have submitted an excerpt of a short story for the New England Young Writers Conference, and it is one of the five from my school that is considered worthy of being sent in for review. Only a maximum of two samples can be accepted per school by the committee. I've made it past the preliminary round, if you will.
