I never win. Ever. I'm the first person to opt out of contest entries because I never win and I'm afraid I'll just be annoyed by getting my hopes up. I know, I know...I can't win if I don't enter, right?

HOSTING A CONTEST? WHAT AM I THINKING? I HATE CONTESTS!

Apparently, not all of YOU hate contests. In fact, some of you embrace challenges (you know who you are, but you're not competitive, right?!--wink wink)! Plus I might just need a little help on something for the next issue, so it a contest seems like a good idea, right?

But I wanted it to be more fun and interactive than just throwing my request out there.

I AM TERRIBLE AT ASKING FOR HELP. I MEAN, THE WORST.

So instead of just asking, I am making a contest out of it.

Are you ready to hear what it is?!?

it's a centerfold contest!

NO, NOT THAT KIND OF CENTERFOLD, SILLY! Get your head out of the gutter!

A contest to determine what words/phrase we put in the center of our next issue of the magazine, of course.

There is so much creativity in you that I know you'll come up with something far better then what I've got. We're going to collect ideas until 07/13, and then we'll have a community vote in our facebook group (The Belong Collective--want to join? you can request here.) the best three 07/14-07/15.

The best part? The winner will get a free copy of the next issue--the one with their centerfold.

ARE YOU READY? ARE YOUR CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING?

COUPLE OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

The new issue's theme is "JOURNEYS: entrepreneurship from any age, stage or place" so the idea should reflect that idea.
We can only fit a couple of words on the spread, so KISS (Keep It Short, Sweetheart).

***VOTING IS CLOSED!***

I am beyond excited to see what you come up with. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me!
