? about cfp etiquette

[crazyhappy]

Hello again,

I have another question for those in the know....

I submitted a paper to my Gender Studies Department for a departmental award (no publication, just an award).  I am now in the process of reworking this paper---it originally discussed two authors, and I am now changing it so that it focuses on one author in a much more comprehensive manner.  Is it cool for me to submit this new version of the paper to a cfp contest (that results in publication).  I'm assuming it is since the original version I submitted was for a school contest and I have changed the paper, but I wanted to double check.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!!!

I guess since you changed the content, the title will be different. So, why not? I've seen some people who write different articles, with very slight modifications that they all seem to belong to the same topic. It's like you decided to split your paper into two parts, I think it's ok.

Since the first thing it was accepted for is a prize rather than a publication, it's totally fine to publish it somewhere else, whether in its original form or a modified one.

Thanks everyone!  Would it also be ok to propose the original version of this paper for a conference (not the adjusted version that focuses on one author)?  I know that people often publish papers after conferences. I want to maximize my potential with the paper--esp. since I have two good versions of it.  I would just wait and see, but everything is due by the 15th, and I have no idea if it will win any of the prizes, be published, or be accepted for the conference (which is why I want to do all three to maximize my chances).  I hope this makes sense.Thanks again.

Should be fine. It's okay to submit the same idea as long as it's for a different type of thing each time (in this case, paper prize, conference, and publication).
