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

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.
