Here's the contest: You have 500 words to tell us about a specific memory from the '70s you plan on sharing with the younger generation(s) --- or, maybe one you have no intention of sharing! Show us a good story ... Take us back. Who was there, what were you doing, how old were you, why was the event so special? Details are what makes a winning essay.

Submissions should be written in a Word document and sent as an attachment to contest@nabbw.com with "Memories from the '70s" in the subject line.

Deadline: October 31, 2008 

First Prize:  $250.00 and F-R-E-E membership or renewal in the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. Plus your story will be published in the Our Voices section at www.boomerwomenspeak.com, and in the January-February issue of GRAND magazine.

Please make sure to include your name, email address, and short (no more than 75 words) bio at the top of your entry. We encourage men to submit entries as well; should a man win, he can donate the free NABBW membership to a boomer woman!

 

For the results of the last contest ("Favorite Grandparent Memories"), write to GRAND's editor at wrcrisp@grandmagazine.com; the top 10 entries will be published on August 1, 2008 at www.boomerwomenspeak.com.
