We hope youll be back from your vacation before Sept. 9. Thats the last day we can accept photos from your trip in our annual How I Shot My Summer Vacation contest. On Sept. 22, well publish the winners in our four categories.
Let's be honest. Your teen's room is a disaster. We're having a contest to find the worst teenager bedroom in Charlotte, and the winner gets a makeover. Tell us your story by June 24.
Its about time for grilling and outdoor entertaining to begin in earnest. Got a great tip? Send it to clever@charlotteobserver.com and you could win an Im So Clever T-shirt. Extra points if you include a good jpeg photo. To win, you must include your name, address and phone number in the event we need to contact you. Roland Wilkerson
