When is the entry deadline?
All entries are to be either digitally submitted or postmarked no later than 11:59pm U.S. Eastern Time on May 29th, 2010.
Who can enter?
Anybody! We encourage students and teachers to get their writing classes involved on Save The Frogs Day - April 30th, 2010. We encourage amateur and professional writers to take part as well. And the more countries represented the better! Did we mention that it is indeed FREE to enter the contest.
Can I mail in my essay?
We strongly encourage all contestants to digitally submit their essays, as this saves our unpaid staff considerable time and effort. Whenever possible, teachers should incorporate typing and computer lessons with the Frog Essay Contest, or ask the students to have their parents type up the essay and submit it on the student's behalf.
If you are a teacher, and this is absolutely not possible, please contact us. We may be able to allow you to send a CD of Microsoft Word files.
Paper submissions will NOT be accepted under any condition. Sorry.

Will I be able to publish my original essay?
We actually WANT you to distribute your essay as widely as possible, as one of the goals of the SAVE THE FROGS! Essay Contest is to raise awareness of frog extinctions.
