I was surfing the web this morning when I came across the news that there is an awesome contest going on in Chicago sponsored by the Chicago Public Schools, Walgreens, True Star magazine and Power 92 radio station (WPWR-FM/ 92.3).

The contest is for high school students to "show their graphic, visual or writing skills by participating in the Expressions Against HIV/AIDS Arts & Literacy Contest, designed to heighten awareness of this disease among teens, who, along with young adults, represent the most at-risk HIV/AIDS age group."

So, if you have any ideas or pre-written or sung pieces that you could put in an envelope, I would do so now because the deadline is December 31st!

Why shake off your turkey coma to fight the spread of HIV? Because prizes include "$1,000 each to three grand prize-winning students, with another $1,000 going to each of their respective schools. Walgreens will award $100 gift cards to each of nine finalists, and the first 200 students to enter the contest will each be given a $10 Walgreens gift card. "  Not a bad deal, huh?

For more info call  312-588-0100.  Best of luck!!
