MDDC Community, a directory of businesses for the Maryland areas near DC and DC itself, is having a writing contest for Fort Meade residents and others who know about the town.

The “Tell US About Fort Meade Writing Contest” is looking for a 500 to 1,000 Microsoft Word document on Fort Meade. Submissions don’t have to be formal (a conversational tone is great) but must include information on at least one of the following: neighborhoods, schools, restaurants, shopping centers, consumer services, recreation areas, or points of interest. The winner gets their submission posted on the directory’s Fort Meade Regional homepage and a check for $250. Contest closes November 14th. Get more details at http://www.mddccommunity.com/fort-meade/

So submit what you know about Fort Meade, learn a little more, contribute to a resource particularly for new residents to the area, and possibly see your writing published on MDDC Community and a check for $250. What would you do with the $250? Would you spend it locally in Fort Meade such as at a store or restaurant?
