i was being a jackass, but also it seems to me that's not the best direction to take it, if it works, you'll just turn your blog into a contest blog. but also, i dont' think internet blog content writers you want would respond to a contest anyway.

What it seems to me like you want to accomplish is real context on your blog. so real articles. not articles just to win a prize. and loquacious internet writers soak up being recognized for the content. from what i've seen, that recognition is dialogue re: the subject matter of the blog entry. comments and discussions that unfurl down the page is what turns a writer on. knowing people are reading their words and reacting/responding to them. Consequently, they will write more and others will also contribute to get some of that recognition. bump those to the top.

i would think hiring some writers to create dialogue around blog entries you have from your readers you want to write for you has the potential to get those to contribute more. then fuel those contributions with comments/discussion/dialogue/debate/arguing/drama/facts/fun/etc to inspire more contributions.

scripted reality.
