Can you imagine making most of your year’s earnings from writing in one month? May is when many celebrate Asian Pacific American Islander Heritage (APPI) Month. Thus, many publications have contests dedicated to this cultural theme, including the one featured here.

I understand. Not everyone has Asian descent. But there are many other categories of competitions held in May. Some are popular and have thousands of participants. Others are lesser-known, which increases your chances of winning.

Here are articles listing competitions you can take part in this month. The cash prizes start at $100 and go up to $15,000. The participant requirements vary from all writers to specific groups, like teens, historians, and writers over the age of 50. I will list the stories here, then share the publication hosting this $200 APPI competition.
