I can't for the life of me see how to use Google wallet (specifically mentioned on the entry page) or any other online method to send my entry fee. Can anyone help?

Mike, I just got chucked out trying to pay.

I did it some other year and it was easy as pie.

I'll be watching for help in this thread.

There must be some glitch. I am contacting Alex.

Isn't there another Able Muse contest coming up next month as well?

Hi Mike and all -

Online payment is now through WePay (Google Checkout has been retired by Google and is no longer viable). The WePay third-party payment process is straightforward, more so that it was with Google Checkout -- just click on the relevant link below and proceed per the instructions subsequently displayed:

For the Write Prize: go here

For the Book Award: go here

Alex, I have been both places.

When I try to pay, it just adds on another 15 bucks but disappears. Then I try again and it does the same. Sometimes i get to the next step and when I reduce the sum it disappears again.

I have tried both for the book and for the write prize. I've also gone directly by clicking WePay but couldn't make that work either.

OK, I know I am not a technical genius, but usually I can make stuff like this work.

Hi Janice,

It shouldn't be that problematic - in fact there's hardly been any complaints about WePay (whereas Google Checkout was a pain to use for most when it was in operation). So, my guess is that it's a problem with your browser. It's probably not up to date, or not working as it should. I'd recommend trying a different browser, preferrably, one that's been recently updated.

Cheers,
...Alex

I sent you some mail, Alex.

Any updates on the Write Prize? Have finalists been chosen? notified? official announcement coming any time soon?

Just curious.
