I fell upon this site. This couple in Colorado is taking essays with $100, and when she gets 2,000 of them - the winning essay gets her house. I thought scam for sure at first, but it was featured in the Chicago Sun Times, and I wouldn't think they'd want to lose all there credibility. Kinda odd, but whatever works I guess. I wonder what the essays are about?

Pretty interesting way of getting $200,000 for your home... I should do something like that.

yup this couple thought of it as just another way of selling the house..

who would actually read 2,000 essays and decide which one is the best....

they're most likely going to do a raffle on this

Too bad they are refunding if they don't get the 2000 essays.

man even if there were to be 2000 500 word essays, that'd be a hard thing to judge from 1st to 2nd
