Prizes for the Flash contest?

[Yargling]

I have to ask, what where the prizes for the flash contest? I was gonna submit one, but this line in the rules made me pause:

Winners will be announced here, on the blog, and on the podcast, and the authors will receive contracts and prizes as described.

Contracts? For what? I thought it was just a cash prize and the non-physical prize of getting to be on Escape Pod...?

When one is published, there is a contract between you and the publisher describing the exact rights you're selling and setting terms and limits.  (Because stories are not like pizzas; once you use them once, they're still there and other people can read them or other venues can publish them.)

I have to ask, what where the prizes for the flash contest? I was gonna submit one, but this line in the rules made me pause:

• 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will receive a contract and audio produced version of their story aired on the respective podcast for the current flash story rate.  Additionally, 2nd & 3rd place will receive: one free EA t-shirt of your choice, and a voice mail greeting recorded by the host of the podcast whose contest you won. 1st place will receive all of that plus a complete set of archive discs from your choice of one of our podcasts.

Whether Scattercat chooses to wear his t-shirt in one of our super secret wet t-shirt contests is another matter entirely.

Ah, thanks.

Ah... now I feel dumb for missing that.

Anywho, sent my entry off, unlikely to win, but you never know, heh.

Technically, pizzas can be reused if the end product after digestion is turned into some sort of fertilizer, and some sort of vegetable garden is grown with said fertilizer, and the vegetables are put on the pizza.

Infinite pizza. I'm just saying.

Well, technically, entropy will eventually win against Pizza.... assuming our current understanding of physics is reasonably close.

Okay, I want to hear more about that...

No, you don't.  My wife has larger breasts, but it's a close-fought battle.

Not if the pizza is... "supreme"...
(Sorry.)
