I want to post this announcement about a new writing contest that is going on now at Christian Women Online. There are some great prizes offered, and this is a wonderful excuse to write something to give your mom for Mother’s Day. (Can you imagine how you’d feel if your own daughter grew up to write about you in a contest?)

Note: The deadline is April 14!

From the CWO website:

Christian Women Online in conjunction with Art Bookbindery is sponsoring the “Her Life Reflected,” writing contest. We are looking for stories that illustrate how your mother, or a mother that you know has reflected the heart of God in her life.

Our panel of judges will choose only one winner, and that winner’s name will be published along with her essay in the May 2007 issue of Christian Women Online–just in time for Mother’s Day.

Eligibility

The contest is open to women aged 18 years and older, who reside in Canada or the United States. Employees of Art Bookbindery and their immediate families are not eligible to enter.

Entries must be submitted in Microsoft Word format via email by 11:59 pm central time April 14, 2007.
