Sometimes... it depends on how busy I am. This summer I haven't because I've been crazy busy and didn't need the distraction.

No.

Need more words.

No, I do not participate in AR contests and from observing others who have, I do not, at this time, believe they have merit which would engage any interest from me.

I do and think many have had value. The community has benefited from some of the ones in the past and the sharing of ideas. I think some people like to have a theme to write about while others consider it a distraction and are not interested. The 30 in 30 contests have gotten some folks back on the blogging trail.

Sometimes.  Only if I have time and relevant to what I'm doing.  I'd say I skip more than I participate in.  Many just take up a lot of time and have too many rules.

Not recently. When I started out, I was really going for points which you can rack up by participating in contests. Now I go at my own speed, writing about things that I feel I want to get out there. But contests are great for people just starting out on AR, it gets them into regular blogging. At least that's my opinion.
