>A CONTEST YOU CAN WIN
>YOUR WORK PUBLISHED AND MONEY TOO
>
>What? Every year the Metro Chapter sponsors a writing contest open 
>to everyone. The writer of the winning essay will receive a cash 
>prize of $75 and publication of the article in the Minnesota 
>Bulletin. Another $50 will go to the winner of a random drawing from 
>the rest of the essays submitted.
>Why? The members of the NFB of Minnesota are the main source of 
>articles for the Minnesota Bulletin, and have many interesting 
>personal experiences, opinions, and stories to share. This contest 
>provides a way to share them and maybe win some cash too. All 
>entries will be considered for publication in the Minnesota Bulletin.
>How? Write an essay about your personal experience as a blind 
>person, a hard-learned lesson of your life, someone else's adventure 
>dealing with blindness, an idyllic world with blindness as normal as 
>Federationists know it to be, a message you wish to share with 
>others -- any topic related to blindness you long to teach your 
>fellow Federationists!!! It should be long enough to cover the 
>subject, but short enough to be interesting; usually about 2 or 3 pages.
>When? E-mail your writing to Minnesota Bulletin editor Tom Scanlan 
>at <mailto:tom.scanlan at earthlink.net>tom.scanlan at earthlink.net by 
>October 15, 2012. The entries will be judged by a three-person 
>panel, and the winners awarded at the banquet of the Annual 
>Convention on October 27, 2012.
>Who? This statewide essay-writing contest is open to everyone, not 
>just the Metro Chapter. Set your imagination to work and your 
>fingers to tapping the computer keyboard, and let's see the editor's 
>e-mail overpowered with essays.
