Feb 01, 1998 ANNUAL FAUX FAULKNER CONTEST How to Write Bad Faulkner:
start by reading Faulkner for at least ten years. The successful
parodist will have absored Faulkner's style and syntax and have
developed a feel for his dense sentence and paragraph structure. To
attempt to imitate Faulkner without this knowledge is a lost cause.
Irreverent wit and humor are prerequisites but the parodist will be
well-advised to serve up his concoction with a dash of humility and
grace. After all, nobody writes like William Faulkner. How to Enter
the Contest: be sure to include a title for the entry, your name,
address and phone number. If you wish confirmation of receipt, enclose
a self-addressed postcard. By entering the contest, contestants
automatically release publication and promotion rights to Jack
Daniel's and The Faulkner Newsletter. The winner of the contest
receives round-trip air fare for two to Oxford and complimentary
registration and lodging for the annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha
Conference held each summer at the University of Mississippi. Send
your typed, double-spaced manuscript (500-word limit) to: Faux

If you are an artist who produces work for sale, then consider a two
week FREE advertisement at the top of the ART DEADLINES LIST. The best
way to do this is to provide a URL pointing to your page on the web.
If you don't have a page on the web then consider hiring me to make
one for you.
For $100 your page will be on the web for 12 months and include:
1) a page (8.5 x 11) of text describing your art/project/enterprise
(don't forget to include telephone, FAX, pager, email address, postal
address, UPS address, etc)
2) a photograph of your friendly staff, product, service, etc
3) submission of your page to a dozen of the best search engines on
the web
4) a free email address on the World Wide Web (and you don't even need
your own computer)
5) additional pages, text, and pictures at very reasonable rates
6) one month of free advertising on the ART DEADLINES LIST and the ART
& CULTURAL EVENTS LIST (http://rtuh.com/aacel) web page, worth a total
of $65
7) free one-year ART DEADLINES LIST email subscription, worth $12
