What kind of essay is 250 words?

250 words is about 1/3 of a page typed (short words mind you, longer words it could possibly be 1/2 a page). Houston is a metropolis of over 5 million. The Chronicle is going to receive hundreds of entries, I’d say maybe even upwards toward a thousand. XD It’s just a boardgame and movie tickets. There’s no need to make it any longer than that. I’ll have to see if my sister wants to enter this.

That’s awesome! I’m going to make all of my friends enter though, because you can’t do it about yourself.
