Be Mighty, Be Active Essay Contest

Shaq knows that mighty kids are strong and active. Shaq and Mighty Foodz want to find out how you will make our world more mighty.

Create a plan that will get you and your peers more active and tell us about it in a 300 word essay. For example, you might want to fix up a soccer field in your hometown so that there is a place for games. There might be a park by your house that has room for a basketball court. Maybe your school needs a PE teacher. You create the plan and tell us about it.

Deadline:  August 18, 2007
Eligibility: USA, ages 7 to 15  (must have parental consent)

Good Luck Kids!!

Photo Winners

The Nikon Photo Contest International is one of the biggest and most prestigious photography contests in the world.

Last year they had over 47,000 entries, which you can imagine, made the judges jobs VERY difficult.

If you enter photo contests, you need to keep in touch with the types of photos the judges choose as winners. This helps YOU become a better judge of your own photography.

Always remember, that though there may be objective criteria for narrowing down the field, from 45,000 photos to the last 100 … in the end the photos are chosen subjectively by each of the judges.

It is interesting to get some of that insight from the judges …
