Literary Contests requiring entry fees

Yes, I'll admit it, I've entered them. The closest I came was Second Place in a chapbook contest. I get this nagging feeling that most are rigged, and we know that the winner they usually select is not very good.

I rarely if ever enter any more. Better to donate that $ to the homeless or some other charity. And that promise about getting a year's subscription to the magazine or journal "just for entering." BIG DEAL. Who wants to read a magazine or journal that doesn't want you to be part of it!
