The link, even when changed to ...mil/ARCIC/AUSA doesn't work. There is a pdf announcement at http://www.arcic.army.mil/ARCIC_Writing_Contest/ARCIC_Writing_Contest.pdf but that's all I was able to find. Is there more?

"Paper Submissions on disk only"?!?! How "quaint"! Do you seriously mean that you don't have an email account for submissions :eek:? That is going to potentially cause you all sorts of timing problems. Hmmm, I'm sensing a possible topic "Email capabilities: 2025 and beyond"......:D

We had some unclear wording; participants CAN submit submissions on disk by mail to the address referenced OR email submissions to robert.toguchi@us.army.mil.

The correct URL for additional contest information on the ARCIC website is:

Apologies for any confusion, and thank you for your interest!
