Publisher Looking For New Talent!

You read the title right! Tag Publishing LLC is running "The Great American Novel Contest." Here is the e-mail I received regarding this great opportunity:
"Our publishing company is now accepting fiction. To get the word out, we are running the Great American Novel Contest. We would love for your readers to know about it and submit their work. If you have any questions, please let us know. http://www.tagpublishers.com/contest.html"
Okay folks, polish up your novels and get ready. I visited their website and read a little more information about the contest. To summarize here is the good stuff:
TAG Publishing is looking for the next Great American Novel! Our contest seeks the best unpublished work in 7 different areas of fiction and will award a top prize of $300 to the Best of Show and prizes of $75, $50, and $25 to first, second and third place in each category.
You will need to have your synopsis ready to enter this contest. I know but it's the price we pay to get found. Also included in this contest is the opportunity to be offered a publishing contract.

are you sure its not a scam? if the entry fee is more than one of the potential prizes......makes me suspicious.

Veronika - Yes I do see your point. If you enter as an early bird and when 3rd place then you get your money back. I have checked this out and I haven't seen any reports about this being a scam. From all indications they are a legitimate publishing company. I researched the founder and she is a ghostwriter and editor. So far everything points to them being legitimate.
