<div align="center"><b>A CONTEST YOU CAN WIN<br>
YOUR WORK PUBLISHED AND MONEY TOO<br>
</b></div>
<br>
<b>What?</b> Every year the Metro Chapter of the National
Federation of the Blind of Minnesota 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
<a href="http://www.nfbmn.org/bulletins"><i>Minnesota
Bulletin</a></i>. Another $50 will go to the winner of a random
drawing from the rest of the essays submitted.<br>
<b>Why?</b> The members of the NFB of Minnesota are the main source
of articles for the <i>Minnesota Bulletin</i>, 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 <i>Minnesota
Bulletin</i>.<br>
<b>How?</b> 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. <br>
<b>When?</b> E-mail your writing to <i>Minnesota Bulletin</i>
editor Tom Scanlan at
<a href="mailto:tom.scanlan@earthlink.net">tom.scanlan@earthlink.net</a>
by September 28, 2015. The entries will be judged by a three-person
panel, and the winners awarded at the banquet of the Annual Convention on
October 10, 2015.<br>
<b>Who?</b> 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.<br>
See the NFB of Minnesota website at

for the past winners and what they wrote. <br>
<br>
Good Luck,<br>
