It looks really good, though, and the prize must be worth a go.
Good luck if you enter.

Hmmm, I looked through the terms earlier and didn't see where they said no violence or sex? You remember where you saw it?
I'm still not sure if I'll do it. While I'm not thrilled about the requirement to sign their contract for the winning book, they are only buying one title. You can write stuff and self-publish after with a bit more exposure. Doesn't seem too bad a deal. I do worry about my chances though, since I'm very firmly in the camp of 'genre fiction.'
