This is your ezine. We want your contributions rather than giving you articles written by us. So, contribute generously.

The General Submission and Competition/Contest Rules are:

• Only The Life Beautiful members (who are automatically members to the ezine) can submit.

• All submissions are through email. Please cut and paste or type in the body of the email.

• There are two types of submissions:

• General submissions: For quotations, jokes, very short inspirational/motivational anecdotes/write ups, sharing of short relevant life experience, etc. no additional requirement than membership, is needed.

For full length (less than 1000 words) Articles on happiness, success, and health, and story (maximum 2000 words) and poems (maximum 20 lines), please give the name and valid email address of at least three persons known to you who may be interested in becoming members of The Life Beautiful.

• Submissions for monthly Competition/Contest: For full length (less than 1000 words) Articles on happiness, success, and health, and story (maximum 2000 words) and poems (maximum 20 lines), please give the name and valid email address of at least five persons known to you who may be interested in becoming members of The Life Beautiful. We will send an email, giving your reference, to them for becoming member of The Life Beautiful. Whether they become member or not your entry will be considered for competition/contest and inclusion in the ezine. [Normally, ezines and print publication charge US$ 10 to 25 reading fees for such competition/contest. Since our aim is not money making but making you happy, successful and healthy and spread the message of happiness, success, and health, we are asking for emails of your friends who may benefit from this free ezine.]

• The Competition/Contest will be in three Categories:

• Articles on Happiness, Success, and Health (including Yoga)

• Short stories

• Short poems

• The Articles, and especially the Short stories and Short poems should be easily understandable to general public (i.e. they should not be ultra-modern or artistic).

• Of course, all the items submitted for the Competition/Contest should cater to good taste.

• The First prize winner in each Category will receive a free copy of BE HAPPY!

• We will acquire rights to the submitted articles, etc. in General and Competition/Contest Categories for electronic and print publications. The material may be published in present or future electronic and print publications with due credit. However, the writer is free to use his or her item for other electronic or print publications with (preferred) or without our permission/knowledge. If in any future publication of The Life Beautiful any idea/point seems to be similar to the idea/point expressed in any submitted item plagiarism charge will not be sustainable/enforceable, as we may already be working on that idea right now. However, we will uphold best literary and business standards in this matter.

• In respect of any dispute etc. the decision of The Life Beautiful shall be final.

• Please submit General items (at any time)to thelifebeautiful@thelifebeautiful.com
