    Maralyn is right. This contest, and others, are well worth the
    efforts to enter. We have both won contest awards. You never
    know where the results will lead.

    You are right Brenda. It has made a difference for both of us throughout our careers. Being judged and picked by peers and “experts,” maes the path smoother.
