Monthly AE Author Contests from The American Legion
The deadline to submit entries has been reached. The winner will be announced next Friday at or around 20:00 EST. May entries should not be submitted until beginning May 1. Thank you all who participated by submitting an arc entry.
Congratulations to April's winner of The American Legion AE Author's contest!
@Clave Dark 5 for his submission of Arc ID 322480 Day Job Hell: A Villain's First Day Job wins this month's 500 million influence prize!
Congratulations and thank you to all who participated. As always there were some very good arcs to choose from. Feel free to begin submitting your entries for May's contest beginning Sunday May 1.
We are now accepting submissions for the May AE contest.
Entries for the May contest will be accepted until 23:59 Eastern Time on Friday May 20, 2011. The winner will be announced at or shortly after 20:00 Eastern Time Friday May 27, 2011!
There were no entries for the May contest; therefore there is no winner. 
There will be a June contest as planned...no theme but since D-Day is June 6 if anyone has an arc or feels like making an arc with a little gesture toward our great veterans I would think it would be appropriate. No extra credit for that; just trying to help get some creative juices flowing out there.
Entries for the June contest may be submitted beginning June 1 and will be accepted until 23:59 Eastern Time on Friday, June 17. The winner will be announced at or shortly after 20:00 Eastern Time on Friday, June 24.
Good luck!
Not sure if you were aware, but the 4/26 patch introduced a hellaciously overzealous word filter into AE and rendered a ton of people's arcs unplay/unpublishable. Only in todays patch was the first pass at fixing it implemented, so that may have impacted submissions, I know I was going to toss mine in for the hell of it but only today was able to get it published, I'd expect it will pick up in June for you guys

The winner for this month will be announced a little late...I had to go out of town this week and therefore am a little behind on running all of these; but I think its more important that all submitted arcs get a fair review than announcing the winner by any deadline. The winner WILL be announced by this Sunday evening!
I am pleased to announce that the winner of the American Legion's June AE contest is:
