Left Handed Contest
Something For Everyone
While working on my Left Handed Scholarships idea I suddenly got an
inspiration to develop a Left Handed Contest for all left
handers! If we can generate enough interest I am planning on having both an
essay contest and scholarship award beginning around June 1 and ending September 1, 2008.
CONTEST BEGINS
Okay, here we go. Starting today (June 1, 2008) through September 1, 2008 the Left Handed Contest/Scholarship begins! Write an essay of no more than 300 words entitled, "Why I Like Being Left Handed".
One entry per person submitted to my email, beinglefthanded@gmail.com.
Sorry but no family or friends are eligible. Top 5 essays chosen by me
and a few other lefties will be posted on this website in September and
voted on by my website guests. Due to the bad economy my
funding sources have dried up so I'm putting up $100, winner take
all, and hopefully the prize amount will increase before the contest
ends. How Can You Help? Please
shop my left handed store and ebay listing page. Even if you're not
looking for a left handed item, if you go through my website I get a
little commission on whatever you buy, which helps support this website
and my contests ( I have more planned.) Also, if there are any ads
posted on my website check them out if you're interested. Every little
bit helps. Good luck and let the writing begin!
My original scholarship idea went something like this;
-
Essay Driven Contest for lefties
-
Top 5 Essays will be posted and voted on by my "Being Left
Handed" guests (you)
-
Funded by my website, affiliates, possible grant money,
and generous contributions
-
Awarded Annually
If this is successful I will run
a contest more frequently. Not only will I award cash
prizes but also left handed items.
Please help make this happen by telling all your left handed friends and don't forget to sign up for my newsletter, "Out In Left Field"
where I will be supplying more information about these events (By signing up, this will give me an idea of how much
interest there is!)
Thanks for all the support in getting this sight up and running with
all the great email ideas and comments. Being Left Handed gets better
each day. |
