Do you know that the Inauguration Committee is having an Essay Contest to send 10 winners (and one guest each) to the historic Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama?
My understanding is that the winners (and their guests) will receive transportation, hotel and admission to inaugural events including parade, swearing in and an official ball. Contest participants are encouraged (but not required) to contribute at least $5 to the events. If you are thinking about entering and cannot (or prefer not) to contribute financially there is a link in the left column of the submission page for you to submit an essay (required) only. The deadline for submission is midnight on 8 January. Winners will be selected by 15 January and notified by 16 January.
There are several articles about this. Three that I read are justnews.com, usnews.com and usatoday.com. The U.S. News and USA Today articles include a link to the submission page which is pic2009.org/tickettohistory. The U.S. News article also has a link to the 'essay only' submission page.
