Write it down. Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11th.And while you have your pen in hand, why not get to work on writing about how amazing your mom is. Its a chance to win $75 Shopping Spree at our gift gallery.
Umbra Essence Candles and Gifts in St. Elmo announces the “Share Your Light” Mother’s Day contest. Simply submit 500 words or less describing how your mother, or a mother that you know, shares her light with the world and inspires others. A grand prize winner will be chosen on Monday, May 5 and the winning essay will be published on the Share Your Light blog.
Participants can submit their entries via email, or thru the regular mail, or by dropping the essay off in person at our gift gallery in St. Elmo. A $75 Umbra Essence Candles and Gifts gift certificate will be awarded to the mother featured in the winning essay.
“Mothers are very special people in the world and should be honored everyday,” says gift gallery owner Jamie Floyd Mosey. “We hope to hear stories from all over our community about the wonderful moms in our lives and how beautiful they are inside and out.”
To encourage the broadest possible participation the contest will also be open to anyone who writes in about an inspiring mother in their lives, whether that woman has passed on or in fact lives outside of our area. Two runner’s up will also be chosen and those essays will be included on the Share Your Light blog.
