It’s never a bad day when somebody fires up a contest.

Brian Clark of Copyblogger unveiled the copywriting competition he’s been threatening to run for months.

Still, the white paper/case study/ad specialists shouldn’t get too overheated; it’s a landing page contest, and the $5K first prize comes in the form of SquidOffer Advertising — a Squidoo-based ad network the contest is designed to promote.

You submit character-limited ad copy and a landing page URL, and the judges take it from there.

Given my workload and the extremely high quality of springtime fly fishing on the nearby Upper Sacramento River, I think I’ll pass on this one, but maybe you won’t.

If you decide to play, let the rest of the Undergrounders know how you did.

Keep writing, Tom Chandler.
