Nathan Bransford, Literary Agent has some words of advice (including read the fine print) in his post All About Contests. There's also a link to the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest there too (January 25-February 7).
InkyGirl also advises that Before entering writing contests, ALWAYS read the fine print.
