Readers of all ages are encouraged to send in pictures of their “best ride” in whatever form it may take – classic car, speedboat, farm animal and more.
The My Best Ride photo contest, sponsored by Grand Times, Leader Publications’ magazine for senior citizens, is accepting submissions from residents of Jefferson County, Eureka and Wildwood.
Readers are welcome to send a photo of their best ride along with an explanation of why it’s their favorite. Three winners will be drawn at random from among all the entries to win cash prizes – $100 for the first name drawn, $75 for the second and $50 for the third.
The deadline to enter the contest is 5 p.m. Thursday, July 11. Readers are limited to one entry per “ride” and three entries per person.
Photo contest entries should include the following information:
■ Entrant’s name, age, address and phone number, so that winners may be contacted.
■ The date and place the photo was taken and by whom.
■ The names of any people in the photo.
■ The make, model or type of vehicle and how you obtained it.
■ Any other information about the photo that explains why it is memorable.
The July 18 issue of Grand Times will feature as many entries as space allows, with all submissions posted to the Leader website. That issue also will include information about the West Side Senior Expo, set for Wednesday, July 24, at Northwest High School in Cedar Hill.
Send entries by mail to My Best Ride, c/o Leader Publications, P.O. Box 159, Festus, 63028; drop them off at the Leader office, 503 N. Second St., in Festus; or email them to news@leaderpublications.biz.
Photos accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope will be mailed back; others will be held for pickup.
