Looks like we're all mostly doing the same contests...

The ones I do sort of on repeat (and where I've been most successful):

Writers Workout Writers Games
TL;DR WordHerd Flash
YeahWrite SuperChallenge (Fiction only)
NYCm - all of the prose contests, but I'm only planning on going forward w/Flash & Short Story
Writing Battle - Flash, Short Story, Micro (I won't do Nano)
Writer's Playground
Globe Soup

A few I've done as a one off or occasionally do, but not religiously:
Writers Weekly 24 Hour Short Story Contest
Writer Advice's Flash Fiction Contest
WOW! Women on Writing (Fiction only) 
Molotov Cocktail's themed flash series


I'm sure there are others, but that's what I got off the top of my head...

I’m an NYCM junkie, so I’ve done 100, 250, Flash, and Short Story.  I regularly get embarrassed in the micros, but I keep doing them anyway.

Outside of NYCM, I LOVE Writing Battle, and I’ve done Writer’s Weekly.com many times.  I’ve also done Bardsy’s contests and Bethlehem Writer’s Roundtable.

I’m definitely gonna try Globe Soup and Writer’s Playground soon, because, y’know, I need more stress in my life.

Basically, my answer (and Nod’s) should be the same:

What other contests do you do?

All of them. :)

Truth. 

And I’m always happy to go head-to-head with you, my friend. Wink

Looks like a few people are doing the Globe Soup this week.  Would anyone be interested if I started a beta list?

I'm not 100% sure if I'm entering, but I'll def beta read for it, if you make a list.

Nod, thanks SO much for this list!

I've only been doing NYCM and Writing Battle (skipped the current one) - since I seem to need a deadline, doing more of these will maybe get me into a regular habit.
