Essay Contest Becomes Blog Blast
“So Cheryl, how’s the essay contest coming?”
“What essay contest?”
It’s not an essay contest anymore, it’s a blog blast! Instead of limiting yourself to talking about your vision for the future of Wausau, we want you to keep doing what you are doing (or should be doing) … blogging.
You write about what’s going on in your lives, moments of brilliance or not-so-brilliance that occur to you, things that piss you off, things that redeem the world in your eyes. And we’re reading it.
At the end of August, the Citizen Wausau editorial board will reconvene to decide what blog post deserves our grand prize of a $50 Chamber Bucks gift certificate or an iPod® Shuffle, winner’s choice.
The great part about this Blog Blast is that you don’t have to write a specific post for entry. Just write your usual posts, and you just might end up with something beautiful, something that stirs us or something that makes us pee our pants laughing. If you write something that you think is especially fabulous, feel free to send us an email (submit at citizenwausau dot com) and let us know, but it won’t guarantee that you win. We’ll be reading everyone’s posts as they come on the site.
We are turned on by originality, humor, sensitivity and depth. Get blogging, and see what you come up with!
