DearMYRTLE's Genealogy Blog: DEADLINE: Share A Memory ...

DearREADERS,
Just a reminder to submit your entries for the 2012 "Share a Memory" Contest. Carrie Keele, of Not Your Mother's Genealogy and Ol' Myrt of DearMYRTLE's Genealogy Blog will tell accept entries through midnight Pacific US Time 30 September 2012, and announce winners on 5 October 2012 during Family History Month here in the USA. But thanks to the internet, you don't have to live in the USA to "Share a Memory".
It could be a child's memory, an ancestor's story, a reunion memory, a recipe story, a back to school memory, a family ski vacay story, a camping trip memory, a water-skiing story, a miracle memory, a do-it-yourself project story, a favorite thing memory, a cousin story, a birthday memory...?

GET IT??! Any story to preserve the memory for your family members can be submitted to this contest.

In this video we share several ideas to get you started:

but you could also do something like:

• Remind a 5 year old how proud you are he can ride his bike without the training wheels by sharing the video clip on YouTube for the world to see.
• Blog about how you made that family photo quilt.?
  
• Use Instagram to begin sharing ancestor photos with your siblings and cousins, preserving family history?
• Share a joke your Dad always used to tell via FB or your blog.?
• Create a short video clip about that old family heirloom.

ALL PROJECTS are designed to "Share a Memory" with other members of your family. (Even if they don't like traditional family history work, they'll get a kick out of your work on this project!)?

HERE'S HOW:

Enter? the 2012 "Share a Memory" Challenge:

1. Create your "Share a Memory" project using any sort of technology to preserve the story.
2. Send us the the info with a link to your project, via Carrie's Facebook page:
   https://www.facebook.com/NotYourMothersGenealogy

   If it is an Instagram, or Twitter be sure to include:
   @NYMGenealogy?

   (for Not Your Mother's Genealogy!)
   @DearMYRTLE
   
   Simply copy/paste the following text to make it easy:
   
   @DearMYRTLE @NYMGenealogy #shareamemory Here's the link to my contest
3. Your entry post on Facebook must explain why you've chosen to share this particular memory, and how the rest of the family reacted to your "share".
4. Limit one project per "share".
5. More than one project "share" may be submitted.
6. By entering the contest, you agree to allow us to "share" your "share" in our blogs and on our Facebook pages.

DEADLINE: 30 Sept 2012, so we can begin to share your "shares" during October 2012, Family History Month in the USA.

JUDGING:

The decision of the judges will be purely arbitrary, chocolate bribes are welcome. No seriously -- the winner will be chosen at random, and the decisions of the judges are final.
PRIZES: The Prizes will be announced on 5 October 2012. The winners must submit a valid US mailing address to receive the grand prize, unless Amazon.com delivers to your address in other parts of the world. The prizes include:

GRAND PRIZE

2nd PRIZE - $50 Amazon.com Gift Certificate

Happy family tree climbing!
