Tell Your Story, Win Some Money

TheReImage is an online campaign to re-create the image of people with vision loss while establishing new possibilities. With the sighted world as the
audience for this project, TheReImage uses written stories and audio pieces about and by people with vision loss to demonstrate that regardless of our
vision level, as people, we are more alike than different. Therefore, our human and life experiences are the focus of these stories rather than our vision
loss. In other words, the stories are not about how we lost our vision or what great resources are available to us, but about our experiences with raising
children, owning a home, taking a trip, enjoying the outdoors, working at a job, spending time with friends, dealing with family issues, managing a household,
relaxing with a favorite hobby, getting an education, planning a wedding, hiking a mountain, sailing into the sunset, and more. While previously published
stories may be considered for TheReImage, original material is given greater consideration.

TheReImage is holding a contest for stories submitted between July 1 and Nov. 1, 2017. Entries will be judged on how well they exemplify TheReImage mission,
story-telling ability, originality and writing skill. Stories should not exceed 1,500 words. Visit http://thereimage.net to review the submission guidelines
and previously published stories. Monetary prizes of $100, $50 and $25 will be awarded to first-, second- and third-place winners, respectively. The winning
stories and other entries that fit with TheReImage mission will be published on the web site.
While Nov. 1 is the deadline for contest entries, TheReImage seeks content on an ongoing basis to keep the website fresh. Stories and story ideas can be
emailed to content@TheReImage.net, submitted via the website, or sent in your preferred format to TheReImage, P.O. Box 13019, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

Striving for Your Best

With the Olympics approaching, TheReImage is seeking submissions that use stories to show how “Striving for Your Best” isn’t only for athletes.
Sometimes living with vision loss, from low vision to total blindness, can require similar characteristics found in top notch athletes. TheReImage wants your stories that best illustrate your interpretation of our theme; “Striving for Your Best”.
* TheReImage looks to tell the stories of those impacted by vision loss without an emphasis on the loss of vision. We believe stories told to purposefully bridge the gap between those impacted by vision loss and the mainstream can help dispel misperceptions about what it means to live with vision loss.
* We believe in the concept of “showing” rather than “telling”. We’re looking for stories that can hold a reader’s interest while conveying a mood or emotion. We want readers to leave with a feeling as opposed to lots of facts.
* Please consult TheReImage Submission Guidelines
* Submit your story by July 31, 2016 for consideration.
