$5,000 second prize, $4,000 third prize, $3,000 fourth prize,
$2,000 fifth prize, and ten prizes of $1,000 each.

The Amy Foundation Writing Awards program is designed to recognize creative, skillful writing that presents in a sensitive, thought-provoking manner the biblical position on issues affecting the world today.

To be eligible, submitted articles must be published in a secular, non-religious publication and must be reinforced with at least one passage of scripture.


ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible, the article must have been published in a mainstream, non-religious publication, as determined by the Awards Panel.

To be eligible, the article must contain at least one passage of scripture.

The article must have been published between January 1 and December 31 of the current calendar year.

Books, poetry, fiction, manuscripts and/or online materials are not accepted.

CONTENT

God's word must be quoted directly from the Bible.

Such quotations must be acknowledged as coming from the Bible.

Biblical quotations must be taken from an accepted and popular edition of the Bible, such as the New International Version, The Living Bible, the King James, or the Revised Standard Version.

The article must present the biblical position on an issue as relevant, timely and deserving of thoughtful consideration.

Examples of issues for consideration, but not limited to these, are family life, divorce, value trends, media and entertainment character, pornography, political morality, U.S. National interests, abortion, religion and addiction to drugs and alcohol. The biblical impact on individual character and outlook are also appropriate issues.

The need for obedience through biblical truth should be evident

2. Really, REALLY want to see this

4. Actually, if you'll remember
Hunter Thompson quoted the book of Revealations extensively during the Reagan years, and in his collection from that time "Generation of Swine." It could be done in a way they'd despise; and still be very good.

8. I agree with Hunter

Revelations is some of the best writing ever.

5. How about the Biblical view of poverty?
And that passage about the odds against a rich man getting into heaven
