Belize Story Writing Competition

So...Don't know if this is exactly my cup o' tea.  I'm usually ALL OVER paying writing opportunities, contests or otherwise.  But as much as I appreciate Children's Literature, I don't know that the 5-10 age range is within my natural audience.  Nevertheless, I can at least pass it along.  Here's the info.

STORY  WRITING  COMPETITION
As a part of activities in commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the Belize
National Library Service and Information System (BNLSIS) a story writing
competition is being held during 2010.  The particulars are as follows:
·        The competition is open to all writers.
·        Stories should be written for children 5 to 8 years old.
·        Stories should be 1,500 words or less.  Type the word count on the

a panel of judges:
