It could all be yours for $100 and an essay

If you've ever dreamed of owning your own farm, now's your chance: An Ohio couple is giving their 43.5-acre farm away to the person who wins an essay contest they are sponsoring. What's the catch? Each submission must include a $100 entry fee and the couple won't select a winner until they've received 3,000 submissions, thereby raising $300,000, a payoff greater than what they'd receive by selling the farm in the area's sagging market. Now that's creative. Anyone intrigued enough to give it a shot?
