Salaam how come JUST US residents are allowed to participate for the contest

Wa 'alaikmus-salaam,

Thank you for stopping by, Mohammed. Unfortunately, we did not set the rules... in fact, we're not the one running the competition, so we don't know why entrants must be based in the US. But rules are rules...

Assalaamu alaikum.

Good to see u here, Mohammed.

To ditto Umm J's comment...neither are we providing this contest, nor do we have any more information than that which I posted on it. I only received the notification of the contest, and chose to post it here for those perhaps interested in participating. That is one of our services here...to try to keep all of our readers updated on any writing events happening anywhere in the world.

I really don't know why they have limited the possibility of participation only to US residents. To tell the truth...if it wasn't so limited, perhaps I would have chosen to enter into it as well. But...seeing as how I'm based in Saudi Arabia...well...that cancels me out right from the start!!

Perhaps they intend to ask the winner to do a reading, or something. I dunno, really. If you are really interested, then perhaps you could contact the sponsors of the contest and enquire of them.

Or...better yet...if u are a resident of the US...then, by all means...enter!

Good luck.

balqees.
