I recently picked up Louise Doughty’s book, A Novel in a Year: from First Page to Last in 52 Weeks : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3649184/A-novel-in-a-year.html
In the introduction, she wrote that she got her start by entering a literary competition.
There are two competitions I want to bring to your attention. Winning them would be like winning scholarships.
1. Life Lessons Essay contest--$3,000 prize
The magazine, REAL SIMPLE, has a yearly Essay Contest.
The top prize is $3,000, essay published in REAL SIMPLE, round-trip tickets for two to New York City, and more.
The deadline is Sept. 7, 2009, and there is no entry fee.

2. NSAI Song Contest presented by CMT
The Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) sponsors this songwriting competition.
Whoever wins the Grand Prize will get a 90 minute mentoring session with Jewel, your song pitched to music industry executives, and a three-day trip to Nashville.
There are more prizes and possibilities.
Details here: http://www.cmt.com/asm/contests/nsai/2009/
Read all official rules.
The entry cost is $35 per song for NSAI members and $45 per song for all non-NSAI members.
Deadline to submit your song is October 31, 2009.
