Hurry — enter our Mother's Day photo contest! (Deadline is noon Friday)

By MARGOT CONWAY

HERE’S A GREAT and fun way to honor Mom this Mother’s Day.

Enter our online Mother’s Day Photo and Essay Contest.

It’s easy: Post a photo of your mother and write a short essay on why she should win the contest.

The deadline is Friday (May 2) at noon, after which online voting will begin to determine the top three recipients of prizes from contest sponsors.

How to enter

Go to http://ww2.peninsuladailynews.com/contests/mom2014.html, then click on PHOTO CONTEST.

You can also enter by going to www.peninsuladailynews.com and look for the multi-color “Mother’s Day’ button in the middle of the webpage (below “Hot Links” and just left of “Peninsula Poll.”)

Follow the instructions for registering, then post a photo of your mother and write a short essay on why she should win our contest.

The contest is free, but only residents of Clallam County or Jefferson County can enter photos and essays.

All entries must be submitted on the web — sorry, no entries by mail or in person.

 

Online voting runs from noon Friday through noon Thursday, May 8.

The first prize winner will receive a $25 gift card to LD’s Woodfire Grill and custom hanging basket from Angel Crest Garden.

Second prize winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Shear Elegance provided by First Federal and a lovely lavender gift basket provided by Extendicare — the parent company of Sequim Health and Rehab and Crestwood Health and Rehab.
