So, what does this all mean? This means your kids can enter crayon drawings, your spouse can enter a short digital film, your mother can enter her original quilt pattern*, your friend can enter a song and you can enter a short story. This contest is wide-open! Anybody can enter. Anybody can win. 

How is this possible? Great question! It's simple. We're judging the message rather than the medium. We're looking for the most positive take on the theme "Miramichi Memories." Period. We might see it in a four-year-old's drawing, in a 75-year-old's essay or anywhere in-between.

If you have any more questions, please send us an email. Now, what are you waiting for? Get to work! Tell your friends! Tell your kids! Tell your parents! Tell your grandparents! We're looking forward to seeing your entry.

*Note: Please don't send us anything you want to keep because we can't guarantee it's safe return. For bulky items like paintings, carvings, quilts etc. we suggest you take a series of photographs or digital pictures to show your work and mail or email those to us. Only photos and papers accompanied by a SASE with proper postage can be returned. International entries please include proper IRC (International Reply Coupons) for returns.
