Squidoo has organized a really cool contest, meant to honor these people. Make lenses on your everyday superheroes, and stand to win $500 for a charity of your choice.
It’s a great way to thank those who have made a difference in your life, and contribute to charity at the same time.

Jan 28, 2008 Announcements, Contest
Just a couple of announcements.
Firstly, my laptop is currently being serviced. As such I’ll be online quite a bit less over this week, and might not be updating the blog as much.
And secondly, because I won’t be online as much this week (and also to give more time for you guys to spread the word and participate), the contest to give away a copy of Meatball Sundae will be extended by a week or so. To 10 February. So yeah, hope you spread the word, and really hope you participate. More details here.

Share Your Story – and Win a copy of Meatball Sundae
[edit]The contest has now been extended to February 10! That gives you 10 extra days to get your entry. [end edit]
Here’s your chance to win a copy of Seth Godin’s latest book, Meatball Sundae. I’ll be giving away a free copy of Meatball Sundae at the end of the month (January 31) on February 10, so read on for details.
One of the main points of Meatball Sundae is the power of stories. And so, in the spirit of that, here’s all you need to do to be a part of this contest: Share your story.
Your story doesn’t have to be your auto-biography or your about page. In fact, your true story probably isn’t. It’s the one with the drama, emotions, tragedy, action. It’s the story that shows what you believe in, what you stand for.
Put simply, your story is an expression of who you are – an answer to the question of why you are who you are today.
So, share your story with us (me and the fellow readers). There are no fixed rules to this contest. Express yourself, and share your story in whatever way is the most natural to you. Write a post on your blog, leave a comment (or an audio/video comment) here, do a podcast, record a song, do a video and post it on Youtube, even. It’s your choice. Be creative. Make it remarkable. Make it something that people will talk about. And encourage your readers and friends to do the same.
Just leave a comment or link to this post (or email me) so that I know you’ve entered. And make sure to do it before January 31 February 10.
And at the end of the month, one lucky winner will get a brand new copy of Seth Godin’s Meatball Sundae.
