Contest Details

Subject
You may choose a subject from the following two:
Aloha:
What does Aloha mean to you? How do you share Aloha? How would you share Aloha if you won this home?
Mahalo:
What makes you feel thankful? Why would you be thankful to win this home? How would you show gratitude if you won this home?

If you don't live in Hawaii and these two words are not familiar to you - then this is a great chance to learn about the spirit of the islands.

Judging
All entries will be judged as follows:

Creativity                                50%
Persuasiveness                        30%
Grammar/English/Punctuation   20%
Each of the categories (creativity, persuasiveness, etc.) will be judged on a scale of one to ten, ten being best. Then the total score will be tallied and 101 finalists chosen.

Prizes
The Grand Prize is a never-before-lived-in, custom home nestled in an enchanted forest with singing frogs. The home is just a mile and a half from a secluded black sand beach which is home to a pod of dolphins.
Second prize is      $10,000
Third prize is         $5,000

In Closing
So, tell us how you feel, what you want from the future. Write "what you KNOW."
Wow the judges - knock their socks off! Make them laugh, make them cry. Write from the bottom of your heart, with total sincerity. In the end, this contest IS about SKILL - sharing your personal narrative and connecting with the reader - a conversation between the writer and the audience that makes us feel what you feel. And remember: There are no wrong answers.

Your odds of winning this home are better than the odds of winning a state lottery! Winning this contest could change your life. Imagine, only $101 for a chance of winning a beautiful home in paradise!

We're looking forward to hearing from each and every one of you! Each essay entry will be assigned a control number so that the judges have no idea of the name, race, creed, geographical location or any other feature that might identify the author. You can enter as many times as you like, as long as you are age 21 or older & include the fee along with each unique entry. NOTE: When you enter, print out the confirmation page that has your UNIQUE ENTRY NUMBER.

Questions?
If you have any questions, please check the FAQ pages first and the RULES page second. If you don't find the answer go to the Contact page to post your question and the sponsor will get back with you within 48 hours. Just remember, we'll be busy reading your essays, so an immediate answer may not be possible!
Mahalo (Thanks!) for entering, Aloha (prounounced: Ah-looooow-HA) and A hui hou (til we meet again),
