Step right up and win a prize...

Introducing the first ever MFUSA contest: an opportunity for you to win a jersey of your choice.

Content, and quality content at that, is always at a premium around here. There's only so much I can do, although I wish I could do so much more.

In that spirit, I'm asking for writing submissions; if you've ever thought about blogging and want a chance to share your thoughts without doing the tedious work of building an audience from scratch, now is your chance. Subject matter needs to be in the spirit of MFUSA, meaning that it should be American-focused on some level.

Beyond that, it's completely up to you. Be creative, make it interesting. The business of writing something people might actually want to read is tough, so bring all of your skills to bear.

I'll also be more than happy to offer the winner a regular spot on the MFUSA team, if he or she is up for it.

Soccer uniforms and soccer jerseys

Please feel free to spread this around; if you know someone who can write a little and loves soccer, point them in this direction.

Submissions can be sent to matchfitusa@gmail.com. Please put "MFUSA Contest" in the subject line. Deadline for submissions will be Sunday, May 3rd at midnight, with the winner to be announced on Monday, May 4th.

*UPDATE*
Making sure this is clear:

There's no obligation to write regularly for MFUSA if you win. If you just want to write a one off post for the contest, that's certainly fine. Oh, and it doesn't have to be an opus, just something interesting around 500 words. IT'S A FREE JERSEY OF YOUR CHOICE PEOPLE!
